Apple Almond Tart

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet frozen pie crust
• 1/2 cup almond paste (5 ounces)
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all−purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 5 cups apples, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons apricot preserves, heated

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Coat a baking sheet with non−stick spray. Press dough out on to rectangle on baking sheet. Prick dough all over with fork tines to prevent bubbling. Bake until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes; remove from oven.

2. Meanwhile, in food processor, combine almond paste, egg and sugar. Process until smooth, fold in 2 cups apples. Spread mixture over dough. Layer top with remaining sliced apples. Brush with apricot preserves; broil on high until apples begin to wilt, about 1 minute. Cut into squares and serve.
