all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

apples

🥗Healthier: pears

💰Cheaper: frozen apples

Pears provide a different flavor profile while maintaining moisture.

Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges.

Place the apple wedges in a pan with a little water and some sugar, then cook them until they soften.

Remove the lid from the pan to allow the water to evaporate, so the apples don't release too much moisture into the dough.

In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and add baking powder.

In another bowl, cream the butter until soft, then add the egg yolks and mix well.

Add sugar and vanilla sugar to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Grease the baking dish with butter and sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom.

Spread half of the dough into the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Layer the cooked apple mixture evenly over the dough.

Crumble the remaining dough on top of the apples.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding a little sugar and vanilla sugar towards the end.

Spread the beaten egg whites over the top of the crumbled dough without pressing down.

Sprinkle additional breadcrumbs over the top for added texture.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
