2 c powdered sugar
1/3 c red wine

Directions

1. Finely chop 1/4-cup almonds.

4. Brush with beaten egg.

7. Fold in edges of pastry to form a circle.
8. Brush pastry with remaining egg mixture; sprinkle with remaining almonds.
9. Bake at 375ºF 30 minutes or until pastry browns and filling bubbles. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. If desired, serve with Red Wine Glaze to drizzle over each serving.
