How to Make Danish Apple Pudding

In a heavy-based non-stick pan, gently cook 100g breadcrumbs and 50g demerara sugar for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until dark golden.
Transfer the breadcrumb mixture to a bowl. Stir in 50g chopped hazelnuts and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice 1kg of apples. Zest and juice 1 lemon.
In a pan, gently cook the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons of honey, the lemon juice, and lemon zest for 10 minutes, breaking up the apples with a wooden spoon until soft and pulpy.
Using a wooden spoon, beat the apple mixture into a thick purée and set aside to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg whites with 50g caster sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the meringue into the cooled apple purée.
Spoon half of the apple mixture into 4 (approximately 200ml) glass bowls. Top with half of the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with a layer of breadcrumbs and hazelnuts.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving chilled.
For variation: Fold 150ml of whipped cream and 1 tablespoon of brandy (or your preferred liqueur) into the apple mixture before layering.
