Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box

Almond Layer

  • 1/2 cup whole blanched almonds
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    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.

    3
    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.
  • Step 
    4
    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.
