Filling: peel, core and slice the apples.
Cook the apples for 20 minutes in a pan with some water, sugar and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean.
Shortcrust pastry: mix the flour, the almond flour, the sugar, the butter, the eggs, the yeast, the salt and the milk. Mix and knead all the ingredients till well blended.
Use 500 g of the dough and press it down with your hands in a 20X20 cm baking pan, previously buttered and sprinkled with flour. Make sure you create a small border all around the baking pan.
Lay the apples
Roll the remaining dough, cover the pie and seal well all along the border.
Create some holes with a toothpick.
Brush the top with the egg and milk mix, then sprinkle the almond slices over the pie. Bake at 175° C for 40 minutes, then continue for the remaining 8/10 minutes using just bottom heat. When done, wait a few minutes before releasing the pie from the baking pan, then let it cool down completely on a rack.
Decoration: sprinkle the pie with icing sugar.
