sweet main meal or dessert

Cut stale rolls into finger-thick slices. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, and eggs until creamy. Fold in the ground hazelnuts. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them. Dust with lemon juice, then with sugar and cinnamon. Dip the rolls into the milk mixture until they are soft but still hold their shape. Then layer them in a buttered baking dish. Be careful not to let them sit in the sauce. Alternate layers of apples and roll slices. The last layer should be a roll layer. Sprinkle with the whole hazelnuts. Top with butter flakes. If there’s any leftover milk mixture, just pour it over. Don’t worry, it won’t float… Bake in a preheated oven at around 175°C for about 45 minutes. The top layer will be very crispy and should be light brown. Dust lightly with cinnamon before serving. Tastes best fresh from the oven. The quantity is enough as a main meal for 4 people, as a dessert for 8 people.
