Ingredients

• 1 puff pastry sheet (from a 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
• 4 to 6 pieces stone fruit, pitted and cut into 1/8-inch thick wedges
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1/3 cup apricot jam

Instructions

1. Watch how to make this recipe.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
3. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and, using a rolling pin, lightly roll the pastry out. Using a sharp knife, cut out a 10-inch round, using a dinner plate as a guide. Transfer the round to a tart pan with a removable bottom.
4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar on the bottom of the tart and arrange the fruit wedges over the sugar, packing them in tightly and making 1 big circle. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and with the sliced almonds. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack.
5. Just before serving, heat the apricot jam with 2 tablespoons water in a small pot over moderate heat. Using a pastry brush, paint the tart with the melted jam.
6. BYOC: Trying serving this with your favorite stone fruit ice cream, such as peach, or with freshly whipped cream.
