Ingredients

1 cup butter Room Temperature
1½ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt
1 egg white
7 oz Marzipan Almond Paste Room Temperature
1 egg yolk
sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well incorporated.
Combine the dry ingredients (flour and salt) and gradually beat them into the creamed mixture.
Pour half of the dough into a greased 7 x 11″ baking pan, spreading it evenly. Chill in the fridge to set.
Beat the egg white and almond paste together until smooth and well combined.
Spread the almond paste mixture over the chilled dough layer. Chill again to firm up the layers.
Spread the remaining dough evenly over the almond layer.
Brush the top with the beaten egg yolk to create a golden glaze.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, checking at the 30-minute mark. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Continue baking until the top is evenly golden brown. Let it cool before cutting and serving
