Directions
- The apples are washed and peeled. ≈ 3 min
- For each kilogram of apple, the core is removed, but not the opposite section. ≈ 3 min

- First, place the butter in a bowl, then add 50g of sugar and mix well. ≈ 3 min
- We add the grapes, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and mix again. ≈ 3 min
- A pot is placed on the stove, and half of the amount of sugar needed for caramelization is added.
- The caramelized sugar is then spread over the inside of the pot.
- Once I have finished preparing this, I will have a row of apple slices at the bottom of the crepe. ≈ 3 min
- Next, I will fill the apples with a mixture of butter, sugar, grapes, and cinnamon. ≈ 3 min
- The apples, filled with their contents, will be arranged in the crepe, vertically, with the hollow side facing upwards. ≈ 3 min
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius to reach the desired temperature.
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. ≈ 2 min
- The whites are beaten vigorously with a whisk. ≈ 3 min
- For the egg yolks, we add 150g of sugar, vanilla sugar, and mix with an electric mixer until we have a smooth cream. ≈ 3 min
- Then, a bit of oil paint is added, and the mixing continues. ≈ 4 min
- We add 2 tablespoons of hot water and mix again in the mixer. ≈ 3 min
- We gently mix the baking soda with the flour in a bowl. ≈ 3 min
- Next, the flour and bicarbonate mixture is gently added to the remaining ingredients, and the mixture is gently stirred from the bottom up with a wooden spoon. ≈ 3 min
- Then, the beaten egg whites are added, and the mixture is gently mixed from the bottom up. ≈ 4 min
- Once the mixture is prepared, we add it to the container with the apples. ≈ 3 min
- We place the apple and filling in the oven for approximately 40 minutes.
- Once it’s cooked, we remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- We whip the cream with an electric mixer until it reaches a firm consistency. ≈ 3 min
- Once the cake has cooled, it is poured into a serving dish.
