  3. Stir in the almond powder, flour, and optionally the vanilla extract.
  4. Spread the frangipane mixture evenly on the bottom of the pie crust.
Assembling the Pie
  1. Slice the apples into thin slats and arrange them on top of the frangipane.
  2. Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
Serving

Notes

For extra flavor, add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. Let the pie cool to set properly for easier slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two, though best enjoyed fresh.
