Twists
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
¹⁄₄ cup raspberry pie filling
¹⁄₄ cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
Glaze
¹⁄₂ cup powdered sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon almond extract
1 -2 teaspoon water

directions

Heat oven to 375°F Line 15 x 10 inch pan with sides or large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll dough on cutting board into 2 long rectangles; press each into 12 x 3 1/2 inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
Spread raspberry filling on 1 dough rectangle to within 1/2 inches of all edges. Sprinkle evenly with chopped almonds. Place second dough rectangle over almonds; gently press top and long edges to seal. Cut crosswise into 8 strips. Twist each strip twice; place 2 inches apart in paper-lined pan.
Bake at 375°F for 11 to 13 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove twists from pan; place on wire rack. Cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, blend powdered sugar, almond extract and enough water for desired spreading consistency until smooth.
Spread glaze over cooled twists. If desired, sprinkle with additional sliced almonds.
