Ingredients
  

For the sponge cake base:

  • 5 egg whites
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup canola oil
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder

For the apple pudding:

  • 6 apples
  • 4 cups clear apple juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 packets instant vanilla pudding mix

For the cream:

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Cinnamon to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a stable baking frame (approx. 16 x 12 inches) on the sheet.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces. Drizzle them with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
  • Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy, then add the oil and water one after the other. Continue beating until well combined.
  • Mix the flour and baking powder and then sift it into the egg yolk mix. Then fold in half of the egg whites, followed by the other half.
  • Pour the batter into the baking frame and bake for about 15 minutes. Let the base cool afterwards.
  • Pour 3½ cups of apple juice into a saucepan and bring it to a boil along with the sugar.
  • Meanwhile, mix the pudding powder with the remaining apple juice until smooth and then add it to the boiling apple juice. Stir well.
  • Once the pudding starts to thicken, stir in the apple pieces.
  • Let the apple pudding cook for 2 minutes and then spread it evenly over the base in the baking frame.
  • Let the mixture cool for 1-2 hours at room temperature.
  • Beat the heavy cream together with the vanilla extract, cornstarch, and sugar until stiff. Finally, spread the cream over the cake and place it in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • Sprinkle the apple pudding cake bars with cinnamon before serving.
