2) Meanwhile , unroll pie crust on work surface , roll out slightly . Using 4-inch roll cutter , cut 8 rounds from crust (reroll scraps if necessary) . place rolls on cookie sheet . discard scraps.
3) Gently press 1 heaping teaspoon almond paste in center of each pie crust round . Divide cranberry mixture evenly over almond paste . Fold edges of crusts over filling , pinching slightly so crust lays flat on filling . Sprinkle each with almonds .

These crostatas are worth the effort .
