Directions

  1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and whip the whites until stiff peaks form (note: the whites should not be beaten with an electric mixer, but rather gently whipped with a spoon, taking a portion of the foam and lifting it, repeating this process until the mixture is homogeneous). ≈ 4 min
  2. Dissolve the sugar in the water and mix until all the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Then, slowly pour in the egg whites while continuing to whip. ≈ 4 min
  4. Then, add the yolks one at a time, mixing constantly. ≈ 3 min
  5. Then, add the flour and oil paint, and continue mixing until you have a smooth, even paste. ≈ 4 min
  6. In the container where the cake will bake, melt the 100g of sugar intended for the topping.
  7. Next, the caramel is poured over the bottom of the container. ≈ 3 min
  8. Next, the edge is coated with a fat-based substance. ≈ 3 min
  9. We peel the apples and remove the core, then cut them into slices about 1 cm thick. ≈ 3 min
  10. We cover the container with slices of apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, and then place the whole apples (peeled and with the core removed) upright. ≈ 2 min
  11. Once the apples are arranged in this way, the dough mixture is poured over them, and the dish is baked for approximately one hour.
  12. Once cooked, allow them to cool completely before gently turning them over and topping with cream.
