"Scheiterhaufen" (apple bread pudding)

Serves 4

4 stale bread rolls (or other white bread)
6 apples
Pine nuts or sliced almonds
75 g sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
juice of 1 lemon
Lemon zest to taste
400 ml milk
3 eggs
50 g butter
A little icing sugar

Cut the white bread into thin slices and toast in a pan with a little butter. Peel and chop the apples. Mix them in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and lemon zest. Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan and add them to the mixture. Layer the toasted white bread slices in a baking dish and pour the apple mixture on top. Finish with the slices of white bread. Whisk the milk with the 3 eggs and the remaining sugar with a hand blender and pour everything over the casserole. Top with butter flakes and bake at 180° (hot air) for about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.

TIP: Tastes delicious with some whipped cream or vanilla sauce.
