For the crust:

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 120 g butter cold, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons water very cold
  • 2 tablespoons vodka cold

For the filling:

  • 50 g sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 120 ml liquid cream

Crumble topping:

  • 100 g butter melted

Instructions

For the crust:

  • In a food processor, blend flour, sugar, and salt for a few seconds.
  • Add butter and blend for 5-7 seconds.
  • Transfer the dough to a bowl, add water and vodka, then mix with a spatula until homogeneous.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface, knead until smooth, and roll it out into a circle large enough for the baking dish.
  • Line the baking dish with the dough, prick the surface with a fork, trim the excess, and chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C, cover the dough with foil, weigh it down with beans or chickpeas, and bake for 40 minutes.

For the filling:

  • Clean and dice the apples, then mix with sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a pot, melt butter, add the apple mixture, cover, and cook on medium heat for about ten minutes.
  • Strain the cooked apples to drain excess liquid, reserving it in a bowl. Combine with liquid cream and return to the pot, cooking until thickened.
  • Spread the cooked apples over the baked crust and pour the cream mixture on top.

For the topping:

  • Mix all topping ingredients in a bowl until creamy.
  • Evenly sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
  • Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve at room temperature.
