Ingredients
For the Pastry Crust:**
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
For the Caramel Filling:**

- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
For the Topping:**

- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
Instructions
Make the Pastry Crust:**
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out one half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
- Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork.
- Chill the pastry-lined pie plate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool completely.
Make the Caramel Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns golden brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnut spread and sea salt.
- Let cool slightly before spreading over the cooled pastry base.
Assemble the Pie:**
- Arrange the banana slices over the caramel filling.
- Top with the whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
