Preparation
Preheat oven to 180° C (350º F).
Mix crust ingredients and press half the mixture onto the bottom of an oven-proof square pan.
In a saucepan, heat the prune juice until hot but not boiling. Add the dried fruits and steep for 15 minutes.
Transfer half the fruit mixture to a food processor, add banana and blend until pureed.
Incorporate the rest of the dried fruits and mix well.
If the mixture seems too liquid, add a little flour to the mix.
Season with lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread mixture over the crust.
Top with the reserved crust mixture.
Bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
Remove from oven and cut in squares while still hot.
Serve with crème anglaise or applesauce.
