Apple & Quark Pie Bars

"One of my favourite apple pie recipes that makes enough for a small crowd! The exact number of apples needed depends on the size of the apples used - you need enough apple slices to cover the whole 30 cm x 40 cm pie. Instead of sliced apples you can also use applesauce and mix it into the quark mixture."

  1. This is good :D I just finished making it. The part of dough you sprinkle on the top was very crumbly (next time I will add a bit of milk to make it moist) and it came out as a cake with a crumbly top. Allthough it was delicious (really, mmmm) I don't like the way crumbly cakes are presented (just my personal taste) so I'm not sure if I would make it again. I made this because I had a package of quark in my fridge that I had to use up today and this was the best way. I liked it a lot!
     
  2. This was a winner. I followed it exactly - simple to follow the instructions. My husband has the last word - Excellent!
