Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 4 cups Fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 whole Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine fresh raspberries, almond extract, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Gently toss until the raspberries are coated evenly.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out one dough disc to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer it to the pie pan and trim any overhang.

Step 7

Fill the pie crust with the raspberry mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced almonds over the raspberry filling.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and heavy cream. Brush the mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
