Method
Preheat the oven to 220 C, 200 C fan, 475 F, gas 7. Place the pastry on a greased baking sheet. Make a “frame” about 2.5cm (1in) in with a knife but don’t cut through the pastry. Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the ground almonds over the inside of the “frame”. Drain the apricots then arrange them cut-side down on the pastry. Make a little slit in the top of each apricot and push in a piece of marzipan. Scatter over the flaked almonds and brown sugar.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until well risen and browned. Serve immediately with whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
