Cover the bottoms of 2 ovenproof trays with 3 macaroons each. Wash and quarter the apples and cut out the core. Cut apples into slices and fry them in a pan with calvados and lemon juice.
Put apples, except for 4 columns for decoration, with the liquid on the macaroons. Soak the gelatine in cold water. In the meantime whip cream until stiff. Sprinkle vanillin sugar. Squeeze the gelatine, dissolve in the slightly warmed cider.
Add to the cream and spread on the apple slices. Decorate the dessert with the remaining macaroons, apple slices and, if desired, lemon balm. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
