  strainer and press to extract water. Pour melted butter into 2-inch-deep
  10-inch layer cake pan, spreading evenly in pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cake
  crumbs over bottom of pan. Spread half of apples over crumbs. Top with
  jelly, then nuts, then 1/2 cup more crumbs. Place macaroons in layer over
  crumbs. Top with remaining apples and cover with remaining 1/2 cup cake
  crumbs. Bake at 450F 30 minutes. Cool in refrigerator. Sprinkle almonds
  lightly with water, then sprinkle with sugar and toast at 350F 15 to 20
  minutes or until golden. Shake pan after 10 minutes to keep almonds from
  sticking together. Whip cream and frost cake. Sprinkle with almonds.
