1 1/2 c sugar

1/2 c butter, softened

1/2 c Butter Flavored Crisco (not oil)

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp. almond extract

4 eggs

Beat together for 3 minutes.

1 c flour

1 large can any flavor pie filling (I prefer cherry)

Mix in flour and spread 2/3 of the mixture in the bottom of a greased jelly roll pan.

Spoon on pie filling and spread evenly over batter to about 1/2 inch of rim. Drop large spoonfuls of remaining batter over pie filling.

Sprinkle with almonds and bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
