Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Use a Christmas tree-shaped cutter to cut out shapes from the crust.

  5. Brush the edges of each bottom crust with egg wash.
  6. Place a matching shape on top, sealing the pie.
  7. Press the edges with a fork to seal and make small slits on top.
  8. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Baking

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a dash of almond extract to the filling. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
