Preheat oven to 375. Flatten almond paste on a sheet of wax paper with a rolling pin to form an 8 inch circle. Press almond circle into the bottom of the unbaked tart shell. In a bowl, combine cranberries, apples, sugar & 1/2 tsp cinnamon, oats, flour & brown sugar. Cut butter into very small pieces & stir into cinnamon mixture until crumbs form. Spoon crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples mixture. Bake 50-60 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced almonds during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
