How to Make Apples Apricots And Pears With Almond Cream

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel, core, and slice 2 medium apples (about 1 cup sliced), 2 medium pears (about 1 cup sliced), and 1 cup fresh apricots into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, gently combine the prepared apples, pears, and apricots.
4. In a separate chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar to the whipped cream, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup almond extract, 1 tablespoon almond flour, and a pinch of salt.
7. Gently fold the almond mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
8. Pour the almond cream over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
9. Transfer the fruit mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and heated through. (Optional: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a lightly caramelized top).
10. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with slivered almonds (optional).
