Ingredients
1/4 C. butter, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
2 egg yolks
1/4 tsp. cinnamon, ground
2 Tbsp. apple juice concentrate
1/8 tsp. allspice, ground
2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 C. flour

Cooking Instructions
Beat butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Blend in egg yolks, juice concentrate, and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice; mix well. Stir in almonds. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until well blended. Spread 1-1/2 C. batter evenly onto bottom of 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom, or 10-inch spring form pan. Spread fruit evenly over batter, leaving 1-inch border around edge. Spoon remaining batter into pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain or star tip. Pipe batter in lattice design over fruit spread. Chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake tart 35 minutes, until crust is golden brown and fruit spread is bubbly. Cool completely on wire rack. Serve at room temperature.
