For the dough:
- 250 g flour
- 120 g cold butter
- 30 g powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1-2 tsp ice water
Instructions
- Grate the cold butter into a bowl with the sifted flour. Mix and rub together with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- For the filling, combine the farmer’s cheese, sour cream, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the cornstarch and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Spread the raspberries evenly over the crust, then pour in the filling. Arrange the sliced apricots on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45–50 minutes.
