To answer Elise's question, the pie turned out very well. The almonds in the crust were right on the money. Even though it took a very long time to make, I would definitely use this crust again. Ever so buttery, the almond dough is a perfect match for the summer fruit. It was a hit with my friends Richard (who usually doesn't eat dessert unless it includes some measure of chocolate) and Barbara (who was impressed by the fall cut-outs as well). I left them with half the pie and took the equivalent of three medium-sized pieces home. Can't wait to have some for breakfast. So, Elise, it was a success!
