Spread the pistachio marzipan on the base and smooth it down. Spread apples on top. Mix pudding powder with 60 g sugar and stir with 200 ml milk until smooth. Bring 550 ml milk and vanilla pulp to the boil, remove from the heat. Stir in the pudding powder, bring to the boil again while stirring and let it boil for 1 minute.
