Tiramisu Apfeltorte

Ingredients:
– 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
– 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 package ladyfingers
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
– Cinnamon, for sprinkling

Instructions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced apples, 1/2 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

2. In a shallow dish, mix the cooled espresso with the rum (if using) and set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.

5. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are well soaked but not falling apart. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then layer half of the caramelized apples on top.

7. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and apples.

8. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Tiramisu Apfeltorte for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

9. Before serving, remove the Tiramisu Apfeltorte from the fridge and carefully release it from the springform pan. Dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.

Enjoy this luscious Tiramisu Apfeltorte with a cup of coffee or as a delightful ending to a special meal.
