Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter cubed
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp ice cold water

Almond Paste

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

Pie Crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix flour and butter until coarse crumbs are formed. I used my hands for this process but you can use a pastry cutter.
  • Add sugar, salt, mix into coarse crumb mixture. Don't over mix as you'd want butter pieces/crumbs so crust will be baked flaky.
  • Add cold water and mix to form dough.
  • Split dough into two round, slightly flattened disks and freeze them while making pie filling.

Almond Paste

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until fully blended.

Rose Design

  • Cut two large apples into thin slices, slightly angled.
  • Place slices starting from the edge of the crust using larger apple slices and working towards the centre of the pie.
  • Brush apple slices with 1 Tbsp of melted butter and sprinkle 1/4 tsp cinnamon mixed with 2 Tbsp sugar.
  • Bake at 400 F for 40-50 F. Serve warm.
