Pretty pleasing to the palate and the eye, these petite pies boast a mere six ingredients. And with a pre-made crust, it doesn't get any simpler or tastier than this!

Ingredients

½ cup almond paste
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 egg, beaten
1 package Pillsbury pie crusts
Slivered almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the almond paste, sugar, extract and egg well. Use a small food processor if you own one. Otherwise use a dough blender or mash with a spoon.
Place a mini tart pan on the rolled-out dough and use a sharp knife to cut a slightly larger circle around it. Press the dough into the tart pans. Fill the pans about ⅔ full with the almond mixture and top with sliced almonds.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

YUM!!! These are so delicious, so lovely to look at and so simple to make! Thank you for sharing this recipe!! This is my husbands new favorite dessert. I love that there are so few ingredients and it’s such an easy recipe to make, even I have time to make it (and I have little kids). I’ve read other recipes for almond tarts and they are too long for me to even attempt. I can’t imagine them tasting any better than these!
