- One springform pan (approx. 24 cm in diameter), base lined with baking paper, sides greased

And that's how it's done
Dough
Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Add the eggs, mix quickly to form a soft dough – do not knead. Divide the dough into thirds, mix the thyme and almonds into one third of the dough, chill. Flatten the remainder of the dough, cover and chill for approx. 1 hr.
Base
Roll the flattened dough into a circle (approx. 30 cm in diameter) on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper. Place the dough in the prepared tin, pressing gently around the edges. Prick the base firmly with a fork.
Filling
Spread the apricots over the base. Whisk the quark, sugar and egg, spread on top of the apricots. Using your hands, pull apart the chilled thyme & almond dough, spread on top of the filling as a crumble.
To bake
Approx. 1 hr. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove the tin frame, leave the crumble cake to cool on a rack.
