Amazing fruit pie

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Add melted butter and almond extract and stir until dough forms.

Press mixture into a 10″ tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough all the way up the sides.

Preheat oven to 350°. Prick the dough with a fork all over and bake until golden brown, 20–25 minutes.

After baking, let the pie cool completely.

For the filling, in a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

In a large bowl, beat mascarpone and cream cheese until smooth.

Add the icing sugar, lemon juice and almond extract and beat until there are no lumps. Fold in the whipped cream.

Spread the filling over the cooled crust and arrange fresh fruit on top.

In a small bowl, microwave the apricot preserves and 2 teaspoons water until warm, 30 seconds.

Spread over the pie and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
