Beat the egg white and whisk gently into the mixture. Divide the curd in two. Peel the apples, grate them and add sugar to taste. You can add a little ground cinnamon to the apples.
Step 8
Place half of the curd in a greased dish, then add the grated apples, and then the second half of the curd. Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Leave the pudding to cool in the turned off oven, then it will not settle.
Step 9
Remove the baked goods from the mold, cut into pieces and pour over any hot berry sauce. Separately, you can serve confiture or sour cream.
