Classic Spelt Pie (a.k.a. Boobies)

This is my classic pie that I bake whenever I get the chance. It's great at buffet dinners, tea parties, or even as party food.

INGREDIENTS
300g spelt flour (sometimes I use 150g buckwheat and 150g spelt flour)

150g butter 

Ice cold water

PROCESS
Mix the cubes of butter and the spelt flour together with your bare hands. Add a bit of water to get the right consistency. When the dough is ready you should be able to put it into a ball, or rather, a sausage. Then wrap this in cellophane wrap and put it into the refrigerator for half an hour. 

When you have taken it out, simply cut the 'sausage' up into slices (cut them as thick as you want the dough to be) and mush them into the bottom of the pie mould with your fingers.

You can fill it up with whatever ripe, seasonal fruit that's around. But for your visual convenience, I used an impromptu mixture of slices apples (five apples, to be precise), combined with ground hazelnuts and whole roasted almonds. I threw in some cinnamon and vanilla sugar to taste, and this is what came out:

The decoration seemed like a good idea at the time- to make the pie look like almonds boobies. Now it's not so funny.
