Step 2
When the milk begins to boil, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into the egg mixture. Be sure to whisk the cream quickly to prevent the eggs from curdling due to the hot milk.

Step 3
Making the dough is quite simple. It is called "rubbed" dough. Take all the ingredients for the dough (the butter must be cold), mix them together, chop with a knife, then rub with your hands. Roll out the resulting dough with a rolling pin.

Step 4
Grease a baking pan with vegetable oil, place the rolled-out dough into it, and trim off the excess. Then line the dough with parchment paper and add some weight on top to keep the crust even during baking. Dried peas or beans work perfectly for this purpose. Bake the crust for 15 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) in the oven.

Step 5
Take the leftover dough, form it into a ball, then roll it out again into a flat sheet. Cut out round shapes using special cutters or a regular shot glass. Place the shapes into the refrigerator.

Step 6
Thoroughly wash the apples, remove the cores and seeds. Cut them into small, irregularly shaped pieces. It's best to choose apples of sweet-sour varieties with a pronounced flavor and aroma. Place the apple pieces onto the baked crust.

Step 7
Pour the custard cream over the apple pieces, then evenly sprinkle almond flakes on top. Place the pieces of dough on the pie, shaping them like little apples, and brush with beet juice or food coloring. Bake the pie at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
