A Dessert That Will Make You Happy.

Enjoy the traditional sweet treat from Grandma’s kitchen, reinterpreted with a modern twist by Andreas Widmann. Be warned: this fruity take on the classic may become addictive. While traditional Ofenschlupfer features bread and apples as the main ingredients, this version combines sweet yeast braid and apricots. When this dessert is served, it doesn’t just make children’s eyes light up — adults will be delighted too.

Preparation

Preheat the top heat oven to 130°C. Pit the apricots, cut them into eighths and mix the sugar and the apricot liqueur. Leave to marinate for about 15 minutes. Cut the braided yeast into cubes of about 1.5 cm.
Butter the roasting pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, strip the pickled apricots, mix with the yeast braided cubes and fill the form.
Mix the cream with the eggs and cinnamon and drizzle over the apricot mixture. Distribute everything evenly in the form and cook for about 50 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve hot.

Tip of Andreas Widmann:

Serve with ice cream and marinated strawberries. Splendid ...
