Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 1 hour. Leave to rest in the pan for approx. 15 minutes, carefully turn out and let cool on a cake rack. Meanwhile peel 500 g apples, remove seeds and cut into small pieces.

Stir 50 ml apple juice, 1/2 sachet pudding powder and 1 tablespoon sugar until smooth and bind it in the apple compote. Bring to the boil briefly and allow to cool. Stir 1 1/2 packet of pudding powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 75 ml milk until smooth. Boil up the rest of the milk. Add the pudding powder while stirring and bring to the boil again briefly. Pour into a bowl, cover with foil and allow to cool. Cut the almond wreath twice horizontally. Spread the baked apple mixture on the lower ring, place the second wreath on top.

Spread some buttercream on the second ring, place the lid on top. Spread the remaining buttercream all around the wreath. Chill for 1-2 hours. Wash 1 apple, quarter it and cut out the core.
