Apple Torte with Breadcrumb-Hazelnut Crust

When I saw the cover of the October edition of BonAppetit magazine, I was so excited to try the recipe for this seemingly delicious apple torte. It's not exactly a pie, it uses breadcrumbs instead of the regular butter / flour / sugar combination, so it might be less dense and less sweet. The recipe could be found here:

I had so much trouble with this that I did not even bother taking a picture.

First of all, after toasting 8 cups of breadcrumbs for a little longer than recommended, they still didn't reduce down to 3 cups. After so much effort, the crust didn't taste that much different from the regular crust.
