First, prepare a chunky applesauce. Peel and chop the apples, then cook them with the apple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanilla bean pulp, pod halves, and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Remove the spices and lightly mash the soft apples with a masher. The puree should not be smooth and should still contain small pieces. Let the puree cool. Crumble the biscuits or the amaretti and egg-biscuit mix and layer them in a large bowl, alternating with the applesauce. I always start with the crumb mixture and finish with the crumbs. Cover the bowl and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and serve with it. Great as a dessert and perfect with coffee in the afternoon.
