Toffee Almond Pie

You could call it an alternative to pecan pie, but this pie recipe is too good to stand in anyone's shadow. Its base is similar to that of pecan pie, but with a little something extra: toffee bits. The slivered almond topping has a slight chewiness similar to an eggy meringue, and the result is nothing short of delicious.
