Cranberry Surprise Pie

• 2 cups raw cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  
• 1-1/2 cups white sugar
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
  
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
  
• 1 cup all-purpose white flour
  
• Whipped cream
  

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
Wash the cranberries, leaving some water on them. Combine the cranberries with the almonds in the pie plate. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the sugar.
In a mixing bowl, cream the remaining 1 cup sugar with the eggs and butter. Stir in the almond extract. Add the flour and mix well. The batter will be thin. Pour over the cranberries.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center of the crust comes out clean and the crust is golden in color. Let cool slightly before serving warm, or serve completely cooled, with a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.
