How to Make Apple Almond Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare your 9-inch pie crust. If using a pre-made crust, carefully unfold it into the pie pan and crimp the edges. If using homemade crust, follow your preferred recipe.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
4. Add 2 large eggs and whisk until well combined.
5. Stir in ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
6. Gently fold in 6 cups sliced apples and ½ cup sliced almonds.
7. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
8. (Optional) Arrange overlapping apple slices in a circle around the edge of the pie for a decorative touch.
9. Sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds over the center of the pie.
10. Reserve 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar to sprinkle on top after baking.
11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
12. Sprinkle the reserved 2 teaspoons of sugar over the warm pie.
13. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
14. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
