Mix flour, fat, 175g sugar, egg, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and salt into a smooth shortcrust pastry. Wrap in cling film and chill for about 2 hours. Meanwhile, wash, peel, quarter, core, and thinly slice the apples. Mix with 1 tbsp lemon juice, whole and ground almonds, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon.

Roll out the remaining pastry into a circle approximately 26cm in diameter and place on top of the apples. Press down firmly all around. Bake in a preheated oven (electric oven: 200°C/gas mark 3) for about 50 minutes. Mix powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 tablespoon hot water until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake.
