Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare and roll out Pastry for Lattice-Top Pie. Line a 10- or 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the bottom pastry. Press pastry into fluted sides of tart pan and trim edges. Set aside remaining pastry for lattice top.
2.
For filling, in a medium saucepan combine apple juice, apricots, plums, and cherries. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl stir together brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg; add chopped apple and walnuts. Gradually stir dried fruit mixture into apple mixture.
3.
Transfer filling to pastry-lined tart pan. Top with pastry strips in lattice pattern. If desired, brush pastry strips with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake about 45 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and pastry is golden. Cool on wire rack. To serve, remove sides of tart pan.
