While the cream cheese crust is a bit better, pie crust will do. As well as substituting pears/poppy seed or firm mango/poppy seed. I always think of this recipe when I have a few tired apples in the bottom of the fridge drawer. Thank you M!

David – Sally is a genius, so I’m flattered that she chose to share it with you, and happy that it worked out. Enjoy it on Thanksgiving!

I have made it twice now and EVERYONE asks for the recipe. It is amazing and simple to make! The entire family is coming to Wisconisn for Thanksgiving and I am going to serve this Thanksgiving morning!

My favorite cousin is visiting, and I was planning on baking my old stand by apple cake, but now I’m off to the store to buy almond paste and try this. Oh, you DO have the best stuff. Can’t wait to try your buttercream frosting. It’s come after 50 years of badly iced cupcakes, (how did my children survive the embarassment of class birthday parties with frosting that dribbled over the sides?) but a grandchild’s birthday is next week, so maybe hope for redemption?
Thanks for this!

It is such a satisfying pastry to make at home and really impressed my in laws as well. Yours looks gorgeous!

It was very very yummy! I didn’t have any of the almond filling, but I substituted a pecan tassy filling for it, which turned out great too:

1/4 c. Dark Corn Syrup
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp. Almond Extract
1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/4 c. finely crushed almonds

This pastry is gorgeous!

I recently watched Lidia Bastianich make a gorgeous pastry as well (thank you PBS). Between the two of you, I’m feeling particularly inspired.
