Apricot-Cherry Bake

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for the baking dish
3 pounds small ripe apricots (20 to 24), sliced into sixths
1/2 pound cherries, pitted (about 1Ā 1/4 cups)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1 cup plus 4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 recipe Martha’s Perfect PĆ¢te BrisĆ©e (page 647)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish; set aside. In a large bowl, toss the fruit with the flour and 1 cup sugar. Place in the prepared baking dish.

    Step 2

    On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pâte brisée into a 12-inch round. Cut into 4 3-inch strips; then cut the strips crosswise into 3- or 4-inch pieces. Place over fruit mixture in a patchlike pattern. Refrigerate dough about 30 minutes.

    Step 3

    Lightly brush the dough with water, and sprinkle with remaining 4 teaspoons sugar. Transfer to oven; bake until crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool before serving.
