American apple pie

For the dough, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter in small pieces and rub it into crumbs with your fingers. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour. In the meantime, peel, core, and slice the apples. Drizzle with lemon juice. Fry the sugar and butter in a pan until lightly caramelized, then add the apples and raisins. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes, then add a spoonful of flour and stir. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and line the pie dish with it. A rim about 3 cm high should form. Arrange the apples on top. Bake at 200°C on the lowest rack for about 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 40-50 minutes. For the topping, bring the butter, vanilla sugar, and honey to a boil in a pan and add the flaked almonds. Remove the cake from the oven and spread the mixture on top. Bake for another 20 minutes at 180°.
