Cut crosswise into thin slices.

Line a mould with it, cut off any protruding edges. Sprinkle the base with breadcrumbs. Spread the apple mixture on top. Roll out the remaining dough on a floured work surface. Roll out strips (approx. 2 cm wide) with a wavy pastry wheel. Place a dough grid on the cake. Whisk 1 egg, brush the dough grid with it and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) on the lower rack for 30-40 minutes. Cover if necessary after half the baking time.
