  • In the meantime,whisk the eggs, agave syrup (or honey), vanilla sugar, almond flour and crème fraîche.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and pour the almond mixture on top of the pie. Add the slivered almonds on top.
  • Place the pie back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
