Unroll pie crust; place on center of cookie sheet. Spoon almond filling onto middle of crust; spread evenly to within 1 1/2 to 2 inches of edge.
Fold edge of crust over filling, forming pleats; press down slightly. Spread jam over filling. Sprinkle almonds over filling and crust and gently press the almonds in to crust.
