Apple pie with custard and an almond crust, for 12 pieces

For the base, knead the flour, butter, 70g sugar, vanilla sugar, and 1 egg into a smooth dough, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate. Make a pudding from the custard powder, 40g sugar, milk, 1 egg, and a pinch of cinnamon. Cover with cling film to prevent a skin from forming on the pudding and allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, peel and core the apples, and cut them into 1cm cubes. Mix with the cold pudding. Line a 26cm springform pan with the dough, creating a high rim. Pour the pudding on top and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 50g sugar, honey, and Amaretto in a saucepan. Once the sugar and honey have dissolved, add the flaked almonds. Remove the cake from the oven, carefully spread the almond crust on top, and bake for another 20 minutes at 165°C.
