Raspberry Almond Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place 1 pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate; flutes edges. On lightly floured surface, roll second pie crust to 13-inch round. With 1 1/2-inch star cookie cutter, cut out 45 stars; set aside.
• Place almonds in food processor. Cover; process until finely chopped. Add butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the flour; process until blended. Add 1 egg and the almond extract; process until blended. Spread mixture evenly in pastry-lined plate.
• In large bowl, mix 1 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch and orange peel. Add raspberries; toss gently. Spoon berry mixture evenly over almond layer. In small bowl, beat 1 egg and the whipping cream. Arrange stars in circular pattern on top of filling (with tips touching), covering entire surface. Brush rim and stars with egg mixture; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Place cookie sheet on rack below pie in case of spillover. Bake 10 minutes. Cover crust edge with pie shield ring or strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbly. (If crust becomes too brown, cover entire crust with foil.) Cool on cooling rack at least 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and 1/3 cup sugar; cut in 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Beat 1 egg; add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Press dough evenly onto bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Spread 1/4 cup of jam over dough. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate., Meanwhile, cream remaining butter and sugar until light and fluffy; stir in almonds and extract. Add remaining eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; spoon filling over jam. Place tart pan on a baking sheet., Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Carefully remove sides from pan. Spread remaining jam on top. Combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut a 3/4-inch wide strip off each side of the pastry and reserve. Roll out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface to a 10-inch square. Brush the edges of the square with the egg. Working with 1 strip at a time, stand the strips along the edges of the pastry square and crimp where they meet. You want to create a shallow box, where the pastry square is the base and the 4 strips are the walls. Overlap the strips at the corners, stretching them if necessary to complete the walls of the box. Brush the border with the egg. Pierce the center of the pastry all over with fork. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Add the liqueur and beat until just well blended; be careful not to overmix or the whipped cream will turn into a buttery consistency and start to separate. Using a large spatula, fold in the nuts. Spoon the cream mixture into the prepared pastry crust. Arrange the berries over the cream. Sift the cocoa powder over and serve.
• NOTE: You can use any fruit that's in season (orange segments, berries, plums, bananas, grapes). Blueberries make a good substitute for the raspberries, and sliced peaches or nectarines are delicious as well.
