Apple Cake with Meringue Topping | Light & Juicy

Cut the apples into cubes of approx. 1.5 cm.

In a large pot, mix 500 ml of water with 150 g of the sugar and heat over medium heat to approx. 38–40 °C. Remove 150 ml of the sugar water, stir until smooth with the pudding powder, and return to the pot. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then significantly reduce the heat.

Add the apple cubes, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon and simmer over low heat for approx. 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and continue cooking until the apples are soft. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water.
