INGREDIENTS
Crust and Topping
1box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts
1/4cup chopped almonds
3tablespoons turbinado sugar
Filling
1/2cup dried cranberries
1/2cup dried cherries
3/4cup amaretto
1 1/4cups fresh blueberries
2plums, cut into pieces
1 1/2tablespoons cornstarch
White Amaretto Truffle Sauce
2oz white vanilla baking chips (1/3 cup)
1/2cup whipping cream
2tablespoons amaretto
DIRECTIONS
1.Heat oven to 425°F. Let 1 pie crust stand at room temperature 15 minutes to soften; unroll crust into 9-inch tart pan. Lightly press crust into fluted edge of pan. Run rolling pin across top of pan to cut off excess crust. Prick side and bottom of crust with fork. Bake 10 minutes. In 2-quart saucepan, heat dried cranberries, dried cherries and 3/4 cup amaretto over medium heat 5 minutes. Add blueberries and plums. Cook 15 minutes longer. Stir in cornstarch. Pour into partially baked crust.
2.Remove remaining pie crust from refrigerator. Chop cold crust into small pieces, adding almonds and sugar while chopping, to make crumbly topping. Sprinkle over filling. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 15 minutes.
3.Place baking chips in medium bowl; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, heat cream over low heat. As soon as bubbles form around edge of pan, remove from heat; pour warm cream over baking chips in bowl. Stir until chips are melted and completely smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons amaretto. Refrigerate 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Stir sauce well before serving. Drizzle each serving with about 2 tablespoons amaretto sauce. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie and sauce.
