Ingredients
- 1 almond pie crust recipe
- ¾-1¼ cups jam of choice, hazelnut cream, chocolate cream or pistachio cream
- 4-5 tablespoons finely chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts or pistachios)
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 4 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 4-5 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the almond pie dough.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F / 180C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough in two, roll each piece out into two rectangles a little more then ⅛ inch thick. To make it easier to roll out, roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, lightly dusted with flour.
- Spread each rectangle with jam or spread of choice, I used apricot jam and finely chopped almonds. Roll the dough lengthwise (with help from the parchment paper) and seal the edges. Place the dough roll sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with milk and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until gold brown and baked through. Let cool 5 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store leftover almond roll at room temperature for a few hours then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days if it lasts that long!
- Freezing the Almond roll? - Yes and no! It really depends on the filling used. A jam filling like I used would freeze just fine but one made with cream may separate when thawed. To freeze, slice in serving sizes and wrap with plastic wrap then aluminum foil. Store frozen for up to two months. Thaw and enjoy.
