Mix flour and baking powder. Add fat in flakes, 125 g sugar, eggs and salt and knead. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes. Peel and quarter apples, cut out core. Cut apple quarters into slices and mix with 4 tbsp. lemon juice.
Caramelise 125 g sugar in a pot. Pour in the juice and boil the caramel loose. Add apple pieces and simmer covered for about 5 minutes. Mix the pudding powder in a little cold water, thicken the apple compote with it.
Mix in dried fruit.
Grease the fat pan of the oven (32 x 39 cm). Halve the dough. Roll out one half of the dough to the size of the fat pan and place it in the fat pan. Prick the dough base several times with a fork and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Spread apple compote over it. Roll out the other half (approx. 32 x 39 cm). Halve the dough sheet or lay it on the apples as a whole. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on the cake. In a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see
manufacturer) bake for about 40 minutes. Take out the cake and let it cool down.
Mix icing sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice to a thin icing. Cover the cake with it in strips. Let the cake dry for about 1 hour, then cut it into pieces and arrange it on a plate. Decorate with lemon spirals and cranberries.
Whipped cream tastes good with it.
