Tarte Aux Abricots, also known as Apricot Tart, is a popular dessert in France, made with fresh apricots and a buttery crust. This recipe is a low-fat version of the traditional Apricot Tart, using phyllo dough instead of a buttery pastry crust. The thin layers of phyllo create a light and crispy base for the apricot topping, which is coated in a layer of apricot jam and sprinkled with light brown sugar. The result is a delicious dessert that is perfect for those watching their weight, without sacrificing flavor or taste.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
2.	Place a sheet of phyllo on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
3.	Add another sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter again. Repeat this step with the remaining phyllo sheets.
4.	Fold edges of phyllo in to create a border about 1 inch from the edge of the phyllo.
5.	Spread apricot jam over the phyllo base.
6.	Layer apricot slices over the jam. Sprinkle light brown sugar evenly over the apricots.
7.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
