upside down apricot tart

i've been wanting to bake this tart for a while, but with thanksgiving and all the leftovers i've just been up to my eyelids in food. i'm not complaining. i loved every second of it, every one of the five thanksgiving dinners i was invited to in a week and a half span. i'm very thankful for thanksgiving. anyways, i cooked tacos for a late lunch/early dinner today, and this upside down apricot tart. it's very yummy. it reminds me of a mix between a thin upside down cake and a cobbler.

3½oz butter

12 apricots, halved and pitted, or 2lb 4oz tinned apricots in juice

3oz soft light-brown sugar

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

4½oz plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

4oz sugar

40z soured cream

crème fraîche or whipped cream, to serve

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Cut 75g (2¾oz) of the butter into small pieces and set aside. If you are using tinned apricots, drain them well and pat dry with kitchen paper.

In a 24cm (9½in) ovenproof frying-pan, melt the rest of the butter with the brown sugar and vanilla. Cook for one minute, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and arrange the apricots, cut-side down, in the pan.

Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon together into a bowl and stir in the caster sugar. Add the butter pieces and rub in with the fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the soured cream, stirring to combine. Spoon the mixture over the apricots and bake for 30 minutes until golden.

Remove the tart from the oven and immediately invert it carefully on to a serving platter. Cut into slices and serve topped with a dollop of crème fraîche or whipped cream.

now that i'm looking through this recipe, i realized i forgot to put the 4 oz of sugar in the flour mixture. i didn't even notice by the taste of it because it still taste sweet from the carmelized brown sugar on the apricots. there is also a whole stick of butter in this tart and it taste so good.

also i apologize for my constant horrible photos because i only have a cell phone camera.
