Shortcrust pastry: Knead the ingredients into a dough. If it’s sticky, chill slightly. Divide the dough into thirds. Roll out one third of the dough onto a 26cm springform pan lined with baking paper and pre-bake at medium heat without the springform rim for about 20 minutes. Roll out the lid of another third onto a piece of baking paper and place in the refrigerator. The last third is for the rim. Filling: In the meantime, peel and core the apples, and cut into wedges. Sauté the apples with a little orange juice and a little sugar, if desired, until soft. Then set aside. Topping: Heat the butter, sugar, honey, and milk in a saucepan and reduce slightly. Then fold in the almonds. The pre-baked crust will have cooled slightly by now, and you can attach the springform rim. Form the pie crust from the last third of the dough. Spread the breadcrumbs on the crust and fill with the apples. Place the cooled dough lid on top of the apples, then spread the almond mixture evenly over the lid. Bake for another 40 minutes at medium heat.
