Really enjoyed the combo of hazelnuts, apricots & sultanas in this pastry ~ GREAT, GREAT TASTE! I did, however, omit the powdered sugar on top, but that's just my personal preference showing! Will definitely make this one again ~ Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar cooking tag]
