This apple puree slice is a recipe that has been passed down in my family for generations. My grandma always baked it for birthdays, and the scent of apple and sponge cake immediately awakens childhood memories in me. She prepared it without Thermomix®, but I adapted the recipe to simplify and speed up the preparation. The ingredients are deliberately kept simple, but each one plays an important role. The egg yolks provide the golden yellow color and juiciness of the sponge base, while the egg whites, beaten until stiff, make it nice and airy. The oil keeps the base moist, and the lukewarm water helps to optimally combine the ingredients. The apple puree, ideally homemade from seasonal apples, brings a fruity sweetness and a slight acidity to the slice. The curd cheese provides a creamy texture and a pleasant freshness that harmonizes perfectly with the sweet apple puree. Qimiq Vanilla makes the cream particularly light and airy without making it too heavy. The ladyfingers give the slice an additional, slightly crunchy bite and soak up the apple puree over time, making it particularly juicy. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important to separate the eggs correctly so that the egg white becomes nice and stiff. Make sure that the mixing bowl is clean and free of grease. When folding the egg white and flour mixture into the yolk mixture, you should proceed carefully to preserve the airiness of the dough. The dough should not be baked for too long, otherwise it will become dry. The baking time may vary depending on the oven, so you should check the dough with a wooden skewer after about 20 minutes. For the cream, it is important that the whipped cream is really stiff so that the cream retains its shape. The recipe is already suitable for a vegetarian version. For a vegan version, the eggs would have to be replaced with an egg substitute (e.g. apple puree or flaxseed egg) and vegan curd cheese and whipped cream would have to be used. Instead of Qimiq Vanilla, you can also use a vegan vanilla cream. You can also refine the apple puree with other spices such as cinnamon, cloves or cardamom. The apple puree slice tastes best when it is well chilled. It goes perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The apple puree slice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be prepared well in advance. The sponge base can be baked the day before. However, the cream should only be prepared shortly before serving, as it will otherwise lose its firmness.
