Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 13 minutes, remove from oven. Remove the base from the tin immediately and let it cool down on a cake rack. Clean the springform pan, grease again and dust with flour. Bake two more cakes from the remaining dough and let them cool down
Wash, peel and quarter apples, except for one apple for garnishing, and remove the core. Cut the apple quarters into small pieces and put them into a pot. Add 50 g sugar and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir sauce powder and 2 tbsp. water until smooth, thicken compote with it. Let the compote simmer for about 1 minute, then remove from the heat and let it cool down. Spread the compote on 2 of the bases. Spread 1 heaped tablespoon of cranberries on each compote. Crumble 4 Amarettini and sprinkle over the compote
