Ingredients for Apple Quark Casserole

  • Apples
  • Eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 250g quark
  • 50g semolina
  • 50g raisins

How to Make Apple Quark Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease four 10cm ramekins.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar until pale and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in 250g of quark and 50g of semolina into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the quark mixture until just incorporated. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  7. Gently fold in 50g of raisins.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  9. Arrange apple slices (about 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced) on top of each casserole, pressing them gently into the batter.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the apples.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite topping – vanilla ice cream, custard, or whipped cream are all delicious choices!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
