Add pie filling, water and almond extract; mix well. Add cake mix; mix until well blended using a scraper. Pour batter over bottom of skillet, spreading evenly.

3. Using a scraper, stir ice cream topping until smooth; carefully spread evenly over top of cake. Sprinkle almonds evenly around top edge of cake. Cut into wedges. Serve warm with frozen yogurt or whipped topping, if desired.
To toast almonds, spread almonds in a single layer over bottom of small bar pan. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
