Here’s another favorite from my childhood, before anyone ever uttered Paleo or Whole30 :).

It is in no way healthy, but again…worth every caloric bite.  I mean, what’s life without the occasional indulgence??  BORING 😉 Ingredients

Crust/Topping

• 2 2/3 Cup Flour
• 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Soft Butter
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg

Filling

• 1 Cup finely chopped almonds
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon lemon peel
• 1 Egg (slightly beaten)
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 9 or 10 inch spring form pan
• Mix crust on low either in mixer or cuisinart til it forms a ball.
• Divide dough in half.  Spread 1/2 in the bottom of the pan.  Put other half in the refrigerator.
• Toss almonds in Cuisinart until finely chopped (or buy pre diced almonds).  Toss the rest of the ingredients in and blend.
• Spread filling over crust to within a 1/2 inch of the edge.
• Press remaining dough on waxed paper to 9 or 10 inch circle.  Place over filling and press into place.
• Place foil underneath pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until edges get light brown.  It will leak all over your oven if you don’t.
• Cool for at least 15 minutes.  It keeps really well, so I even make it the night before I want to eat it, and it’s still dense and moist.  YUM!!!  Serve all on it’s own, or with yogurt or ice cream and some fresh fruit!  ENJOY!
