Instructions
Prepare half batch of all-butter pie crust. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add vinegar to ice water. Drizzle in just enough liquid for dough to hold together. Form into disk, wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Roll crust and fit into 9-inch pie plate. Blind bake fully until crisp and golden. Cool completely.
Prepare vanilla bean pastry cream: Heat milk and cream until steaming.
Whisk sugar, yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl.
Temper gradually with hot dairy, whisking constantly. Return to saucepan.
Cook while whisking until thick and bubbling. Cook approximately 1 additional minute.
Remove from heat. Add butter, vanilla paste, and vanilla. Transfer to shallow container. Cover surface directly with film. Chill thoroughly.
Prepare caramelized banana layer: Lightly cook approximately 1 banana with butter and brown sugar until just caramelized. Mash lightly. Cool completely. Do NOT cook all bananas — use only this thin layer for depth.
Slice remaining bananas fresh.
Assembly: Spread very thin caramelized banana layer over crust. Add a shallow layer of pastry cream. Arrange fresh banana slices. Cover completely with remaining pastry cream to reduce oxidation.
Chill thoroughly, at least 4 hours.
Whip cream with powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt to soft-medium peaks. Finish shortly before serving.
