Preheat oven to 160°C, gas mark 3.

Mix the crème fraîche with the honey and lavender. Chill to infuse.

To make the caramel base, combine 175g of sugar and water in a medium-sized stainless steel pan over a medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then simmer until golden.

Halve and pit the apricots. Arrange the apricots, cut-side down, over the caramel.

In a food processor, blend the butter, 150g sugar and flour. Add the eggs and pulse until just combined. Spread gently over the arranged apricots.

Bake for approx. 1 hour or until set and pulling away from the pan’s edges. Cool slightly for approx. 4-5 minutes, then invert the tart onto a serving plate.

Serve the tart warm or at room temperature with the lavender and honey crème fraîche.
