Wash, peel, quarter, and core the apples. Score the tops with the tines of a fork. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Grease a 26cm springform pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Mix the flour with 200g sugar and baking powder. Add 200g butter, cut into pieces, and 2 eggs. Using the dough hook of a hand mixer, knead the dough until smooth. Press about half of the dough into the pan as the base, leaving a 3cm edge. Set the pan aside. Dice the room-temperature marzipan and beat with 100g butter until creamy. Separate 2 eggs, stir 80g sugar, vanilla sugar, quark, and egg yolk into the marzipan mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in with a spatula or whisk. Pour the quark mixture into the springform pan and smooth it out. Arrange the apple quarters, curved side up, in the springform pan and press them lightly into the mixture. Tear the remaining batter into crumbles with your hands and sprinkle evenly over the apples. Bake in a preheated oven (175°C, fan oven 150°C) for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then loosen it from the sides of the pan with a knife and let it cool for 2-3 hours. Then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely. It is also delicious lukewarm. Dust with powdered sugar to finish. The cake also freezes well.
