  • 1st day: preparation of the crust: Melt the butter and mix it with the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, almond extract, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground almonds, all using a wooden spoon. Place the dough to rest on a plate and cover it with a clean cloth to prevent it from drying out. Refrigerate for one day.
  • 2nd day: Grease 2 pie baking dishes (or one large dish) with butter and flour them.
  • Divide the almond dough into 3 equal parts. Roll out two of the parts with a rolling pin and place them in the greased molds to prepare the pie base.
  • Spread the jam on both pies and use one-third of the dough for decoration. Create a border around each pie and form strips with the dough to place over the jam. There should be 3 strips on each side that cross to create a lattice like in the picture.
  • Beat an egg and brush it over the dough so that it browns in the oven.
  • The pies go in the oven at 180°C for 35 minutes.
  • Once baked, keep them covered with a cloth at room temperature. It’s better to make them at least 2 days before eating because they taste better.
