Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a 20cm, round baking dish.
2.Peel and core the apples, cut them into eighths and lay them neatly on the base of the buttered dish.
3.In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Use a fork to whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract and salt then pour this gradually into the creamed butter and sugar, mixing all the time. The mixture will curdle a little but it doesn’t matter.
4.Tip in the quark or ricotta and lemon zest and mix until well combined. Add the semolina, raisins and cinnamon and mix in. Pour this mixture over the apples, smooth the top and sprinkle with the flaked almonds. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
5.Remove from the oven, cool on a rack and serve at room temperature, well dusted with icing sugar. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
