Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Beat the egg and add it to the mixture along with the cold water. Mix until the dough comes together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and pit the apricots. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan (around 9 inches in diameter).
Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough.
Spread the apricot jam evenly on the base of the tart.
Arrange the apricot slices on top of the jam in a circular pattern.
Brush the apricots with lemon juice to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apricots are tender.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
