Preparation:
1) Mix butter, a pinch of salt, sugar, vanilla flavoring and eggs with a food processor until the ingredients are combined. Then we beat the mixture with a mixer until it has a foamy structure. Add flour and baking powder and knead until the dough becomes smooth and stops sticking to your hands.
Wrap the dough in transparent foil and put it in the fridge for half an hour.
2) Grind the walnuts in a chopper
3) Grind dried apricots
4) Divide the dough into three parts. One slightly larger for the base, the other two parts equal
5) Roll out the first part of the dough as thinly as possible with a rolling pin. Line a mold with a diameter of 26 cm with dough. The mold should not be greased because the dough is greasy and will not stick to the bottom.
Press the dough, lift the edges and remove the excess. Prick the dough with a fork so that it rises evenly.
6) Sprinkle the walnuts over the dough and flatten. Leave part of the walnut for decoration
7) Separate the second part of the dough, transfer it to the mold over the walnuts, pat it down and prick it with a fork
8) Apply the dried apricot filling, spread over the entire surface
9) Separate the third part of the dough, transfer it over the apricot filling. Arrange the dough to cover the entire surface of the pie and remove the excess. Prick the edges with a fork.
10) Spread the beaten egg yolk on the pie and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top
11) Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40 minutes
Good appetite‼️
