Classic French Apricot and Almond Pie, both authentic and sophisticated at the same time. It’s also my personal favorite one!
This apricot and almond pie recipe is the one I have been baking for many years. A very French Style recipe which is easy to pull off: it reminds me of the pies French grandmas used to bring to family gatherings. Very authentic all the while sophisticated. It’s a must have in your recipe book.

- 3 Tablespoon (40g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180g) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
