Method
- Heat oven to 375ºF. Place pie crust in 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Trim edges if necessary.
- In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until light. Beat in granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and the almond extract until well blended. Alternately layer rhubarb and strawberries into crust-lined pan. Pour egg mixture over fruit.
- In small bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour and the nutmeg. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over top.

Expert Tips
- One bag (1 pound) frozen unsweetened rhubarb can be used in place of the fresh rhubarb in this tart. Increase baking time to 55 to 65 minutes.
