Emily's option

Tinned apricots are a perfect substitute when they're out of season. Use a food processor to make your own ground almonds.

Ingredients

  • Fruit base
  • 12 apricots, quartered
  • caster sugar (to taste)
  • Topping
  • 90g butter
  • 120g gluten-free plain flour
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 60g ground almonds
  • handful of flaked almonds

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4

2 Quarter the apricots and sprinkle over the sugar to taste. Arrange in a greased shallow 10 inch (25cm) baking dish.

3 Rub the butter into the gluten-free flour until it resembles fine crumbs. Mix in the caster sugar and the ground almonds.

4 Spread over the fruit and top with a handful of flaked almonds. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with custard, cream or ice-cream.
