Apple-Quark-Casserole

Lalaloula's Note:

This is a fluffly winter dessert, which makes yummy apples the star of the show. Of course, you could make this anytime of the year, if you like a nice warm dessert. It goes great with vanilla ice-cream, custard or whipped cream I hope youll enjoy it! :)

10 stars, Loula !! This is my sort of pud or breakfast even. Mine is fluffy and yum, eaten hot but I think on sitting i will be able to cut it like a cake which is wonderful. I doubled the recipe and subbed thick lemon yogurt for quark as no quark to be found here. I left out the raisins. I am mad on semolina and was heavy handed. This is not very sweet which suited me down to the ground too. FABULOUS !!
