The website says they use sweet shortcrust pastry

Grapes

The best way i found with cooking - anything - was once i stopped worrying if it turn out a failure,
I was willing to give anything a go.

So my suggestion would be to try a few different recipes in small quantities, all at the same time and see what works.

Sweets is one thing I would like to do more cooking of.

Wish I hadn't looked.

This one looks like an easy recipe.  You could just leave out the apple and use only apricot if you like. I've never made it.
