In a bowl, combine ground almonds, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Rub in cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add in 1 egg and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into two pieces, wrap in cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Flour the countertop and roll out one piece of dough to about 11 inches in diameter.

Place the rolled dough into a fluted 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into the sides.

Chill the dough in the pan again before adding the filling.

Mix raspberry jam with lemon zest and juice, then spread over the crust.

Roll out the second piece of dough to a 10-inch square and cut into strips for a faux lattice top.

Lay five strips over the jam and five strips across in the opposite direction.

Brush the lattice with egg wash to achieve a golden color when baked.
