  A stunning pastry creation, beautiful to look at, divine to eat and easy to 
  put together. 
   
  Remove patty shells from package.  Thaw at room temperature one half hour. 
   
  Place rounds of pastry, overlapping slightly, lengthwise on a lightly 
  floured surface. Roll to a 16x4 inch rectangle. (If patties separate, 
  moisten with a few drops of water.) Place on an ungreased large cookie 
  sheet; trim edges evenly; prick well with fork; chill 30 minutes. 
   
  Reroll trimmings thinly; cut into 1/3-inch wide strips about 4 inches long; 
  brush with water; press ends together to make rings.  Brush rings with 
  water, then dip in sugar; place on cookie sheet along with rectangle of 
  pastry. Bake pastry and pastry rings in oven at 400~ for 10 minutes. remove 
  rings t wire rack; reserve for decoration. Bake pastry rectangle 10 minutes 
  longer, or until golden-brown. Remove to wire rack; cool. 
   
  Combine milk, 1/4 cup of the cream and dessert mix in a small deep bowl; 
  beat, following label directions. Chill 15 minutes. Peel and cut bananas 
  into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with half the lemon juice. 
   
  Split pastry into two layers.  Place bottom layer on long serving dish or 
  board; spread with about 2/3 of soft dessert; arrange banana slices on long 
  side edges; spread with remaining dessert mix.  Top with second pastry 
  layer. Heat apricot preserves with remaining lemon juice until melted in 
  small saucepan; cool slightly. Brush all over tart. 
   
  Beat remaining cream until stiff in a small bowl.  Pope or spread whipped 
  cream over top of pastry.  Arange neat rows of grapes in cream, starting at 
  outer edges.  Cut pineapple slices in half and place in center. Garnish 
  with reserved pastry rings.
