Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 50 minutes

For the pastry, mix the butter, sugar, and eggs together for a long time until fluffy. Fold in the flour and baking powder. Divide the pastry between two 25 cm round baking tins. Mix the hazelnuts, sugar, and cinnamon and divide between the pastry sheets. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes on the middle shelf. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Grate the apples and sauté them in a saucepan with the rum, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix the vanilla pudding powder with cold water and stir into the soft-cooked apple mixture. Bring everything to a boil. Once cooled, spread it on a pastry sheet. Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form and pour over the apple mixture. Place the second pastry sheet on top and sprinkle with icing sugar. Make the cake the day before.
