1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into pieces

Glaze:
make the crust 2/3 cup apricot jam
Як готувати
To make the crust:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, sugar, butter and salt in a food processor and process until the dough forms a large ball (or mix dough using your usual pie crust method). Press dough to about 1/8 inch thickness on the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch fluted tart, quiche or pie pan with sides 3/4 to 1 inch high. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
To make the filling:
Place Gorgonzola cheese pieces on the warm crust. Place in oven for 5 minutes or so, just until cheese has slightly melted. Spread the cheese evenly over the crust.
Core and thinly slice the apples or pears, leaving the skin on. Arrange the slices decoratively over the cheese (overlapping the slices fan-style looks nice).
To make the glaze:
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam over very low heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Stir continuously, as it burns easily. When the jam is hot, press it through a strainer into a small bowl. Discard the chunks of apricot or save for another use. Keep the remaining syrupy part warm, carefully reheating if necessary. Brush or spoon over the apple or pear slices, coating well.
