12 Servings
Prep: 30 min. + cooling

Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract, divided
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 medium ripe peach or nectarines, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons apricot preserves

Directions

Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. tart pan with a removable bottom; trim edges. Generously prick the bottom with a fork. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until smooth; spread over crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese mixture.
In a microwave, combine apricot preserves and remaining almond extract. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 20-30 seconds or until warm; brush over fruit. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.
