In reply to Sheila. I'm so glad you gave it a try and enjoyed! And your adaptations sound like they worked well too - yes I had a relatively shallow dish but I'd happily have it with extra almond mixture as it is delicious :)

This was an exciting adventure to bake for my daughter and I who have never attempted anything beyond an Apple pie with store bought crust!
We had to look up how the whole blind baking worked - we ended up using sugar. Lol
And also we found we had to use some water to make the dough & we doubled the almond batter to fill our pie as the pan was a little deeper than the one you used. Also we just left the skins of the cranberries in - just squished them really well!
The end result was fantastic!! Definitely the fanciest dessert we have ever made and totally enjoyable!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!

I always wondered what frangipane was. Can't wait to try this. I love pears and almonds.

I've never made frangipane. But now it's on my radar. This could start another obsession! Thanks for posting.
