Ingredients

Crust

1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box

Filling

2 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
2 cups thinly sliced peeled pears
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Topping

1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Directions

1

Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll crust on cookie sheet.
2

In large bowl, mix filling ingredients until fruit is coated. Spoon filling evenly onto crust, spreading to within 2 inches of edge.
3

In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup flour, the brown sugar and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over filling. Fold edge of crust over filling, pleating crust to fit and leaving about 5 to 6 inches in center uncovered. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
4

Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Sprinkle almonds over filling. Bake 20 to 30 minutes longer or until edges are deep golden brown and fruit is tender.
5

Immediately loosen tart by running pancake turner under crust; place on cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool.
