The book gives the whites of 10 eggs, ½ mārciņa of almonds and 3 rusks, which converts to about 210 g almonds; the apples, sugar, spice, peel, currants and crumbs are to taste. We've used half.

Method

7 soļi
  1. Peel and core the apples and cut them into 1 cm dice. Cook them gently in 40 g butter for 8–10 minutes, until soft but still holding their shape. Leave to cool.
  2. Fry the breadcrumbs in the other 40 g butter over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring, until golden brown. Leave to cool.
  3. Heat the oven to 170 °C (150 °C fan). Line the base and sides of a 22 cm springform tin with buttered baking paper.
  4. Whisk the whites until stiff. Fold them into the apples with the almonds, cinnamon, peel, currants, sugar and rusks.
  5. Scatter half the fried crumbs over the paper in the tin. Spread the apple mixture on top and scatter over the rest of the crumbs.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until set and lightly browned.
  7. Leave it in the tin until completely cold before you take it out. Don't sprinkle it with sugar.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book cooks small diced apples in washed butter until soft, folds in 10 egg whites beaten stiff, ½ mārciņa of peeled, pounded sweet almonds, cinnamon, chopped candied peel, currants, sugar and 3 finely crushed rusks. Grated white bread is fried brown in butter; buttered paper goes in a tart pan, some of the fried crumbs go on it, then the mixture and more crumbs on top, and it is baked in the oven. It can't be taken out until it has cooled, and it isn't sprinkled with sugar. The amounts of apples, sugar, peel, currants and crumbs, the oven temperature and the times are ours.

Leftover yolks

the 5 yolks can go into the orange pudding (08-029) or the potato cake (08-038).

The name

jumprava means a maiden or young lady (German Jungfer). The book doesn't explain the name.
