Dice 200 g apricots finely. Chop 100 g pecans. Knead marzipan, pecans, apricots and 125 g cranberries. Shape into a roll of about 38 cm length. Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl and press a depression in the middle. Add eggs, 125 g sugar, vanilla sugar and salt to the hollow and mix with some flour from the edge to a thick paste.
Add 125 g butter in pieces and quark to the rim. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth dough. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface in a rectangular shape (32 x 38 cm). Place the marzipan roll lengthwise on one half, fold over the other half of the dough and press down well. If necessary, shape the stollen a little more and place it diagonally on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2). Bake for another 20-30 minutes. Cover at the end of the baking time if necessary. Melt 125 g butter. Mix 100 g sugar with cinnamon. Remove the stollen from the oven.
