How To Make almond frangipane pies

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat the electric pie maker until ready to use.
• 
  Step 2
  Cut the pre made crust into 4 large rounds using the pastry cutter.
•

  In a food processor, combine 1 cup of the toasted almonds and sugar. Process until the mixture is finely ground. Add the butter, egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract. Process until well blended and smooth.
• 
  Step 4
  Working quickly, place the pie dough rounds into the pie maker, molding the dough into the wells, forming the bottom crust.
• 
  Step 5
  Divide the filling among the 4 crusts and spread evenly. The remaining almonds are used for "garnish".
• 
  Step 6
  Following manufacturers instructions, bake the pies until the crusts are brown and the filling is puffed and slightly cracked, about 11 minutes.
• 
  Step 7
  Using the pie lifter or fork, gently remove the pies onto a wire rack to cool.
• 
  Step 8
  Once cooled, top with confectioners sugar, remaining almonds and raspberries. Serve warm or at room temperature.
