2 cups apple juice
1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box

Make With

Pillsbury Pie Crust

Steps

1

In medium bowl, mix chopped dried fruits, raisins and 1 1/2 cups of the apple juice. Refrigerate about 4 hours or overnight until fruit plumps up; draining any excess juice.
2

Heat oven to 350°F. Unroll pie crust into ungreased 15x10-inch pan. In 2-quart saucepan, thoroughly mix cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup apple juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and clears. Add applesauce, lemon juice, almond extract and fruit mixture, stirring until well blended.
3

Spoon fruit mixture onto center of crust to within 2 inches of edge. Carefully fold 2-inch edge of crust up over fruit mixture, pleating crust slightly as necessary. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over crust edge.
4

Bake about 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and fruit mixture is bubbling. Cool 30 minutes before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining crostata.
