Allow the rice pudding to swell in the milk according to the package instructions, adding a pinch of salt. While the rice pudding is cooling, peel and grate the two apples and mix them with the remaining ingredients except the eggs. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Mix the egg yolks into the cooled rice pudding. Mix the apple mixture and the rice pudding and carefully fold in the beaten peaks. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top and bottom heat) for approx. 30-40 minutes. Garnish with cherries or cinnamon and sugar, depending on your taste.
