Baking and serving:
- Bake at 230°C (450°F) for 10 minutes, watching the almonds closely.
- Once the almonds are toasted, cover with foil and lower the temperature to 200°C (400°F). Bake for another 30 minutes.
- Let the pie cool on a rack and remove from the mold. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or cold.
