In medium size bowl, combine all crust ingredients; blend well. Press in bottom of ungreased 13 x 9 inch pan and refrigerate. In large size bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fold in marshmallows and whipped cream. Spread mixture into crust. In small size bowl, combine pie filling and almond extract. Spread over cream layer. Refrigerate several hours until firm.

NOTE:
These make great holiday treats by making individual tarts in muffin tins lined with paper liners. You will need to make a double batch of crust if you do this.
