Ingredients

  • Pie crust dough for one 9-inch pie

Almond Cream:

  • use 3/4 cup of the following recipe:
  • 1 cup blanched almonds 230 g
  • 2/3 cup sugar 130 g
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 180 g
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit Filling:

  • 3 cups fresh fruit wash, peel, or pit fruit
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon raw turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. The the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the almonds until coarsely ground.  Add sugar and continue to process until mixture resembles sand.  Add sugar, butter, flour, cornstarch, 1 egg, and vanilla extract.  Process until creamy and smooth. Reserve 3/4 cup and refrigerate any leftover almond cream.
  2. Roll out pie dough into a large 14-inch circle.  Carefully place the circle onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Spread 3/4 cup of the almond cream in the center creating a 7-inch circle.
  3. Mix fruit and sugar in a large bowl.  Mound up fruit on top of the almond cream.  Bring up the sides of the crust around the fruit/almond mixture, pleating the dough forming a circle.  Pinch pleats closed.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg and milk and brush the pie crust.  Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place in a preheated 375 degree oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and fruit is beginning to bubble in the center.  The filling should be somewhat set and not soupy.
