Frangipane can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container; it's far easier to spread and smooth once chilled. During assembly, there's no need to push fruit into the filling: While baking, the frangipane will rise up and blanket it as it browns. Use as a filling for Almond Frangipane Tart with Cranberries and Honeyed Pistachios.
