Apricot Frangipane Danish....

[The empressof all]

One little Apricot corner is gone already. It's delish. It would have been better if I used a buttery short crust but I had one of those tubes of the sheet of Crescent rolls so I thought I'd just do a Danish. I could have used less of the Almond cream but the Apricots balanced the sweetness out pretty well.

For the Almond Cream I used

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
a capful of almond extract
a can of almond paste
two eggs
1/4 cup almond flour

Whirled this up in the food processor until creamy. Then I spread it on the dough and topped with the Apricots. I glazed with melted Apricot jam when it came out of the oven.

I finally got rid of that can of almond paste I had lingering in the pantry since Christmas and used up that tube of dough to boot. Pretty good rewards for cleaning out the pantry and fridge.
