Place the slices of dough on top of each other, roll out to a rectangle (approx. 38 x 48 cm) on a little flour. Sprinkle with ground almonds. Spread the apples on top, leaving about 2 cm all around and about 10 cm free on one short side.

Sprinkle almonds and cake cubes on the apples. Brush the edges of the dough with water. Roll up the dough from the short side towards the wide free edge. Press the ends together slightly if necessary.
