Instructions

  1. Peel the pumpkin as you like (we like it so much) and cut the pulp into cubes. Peel the apples and cut them into cubes. Put both in a bowl and mix with 1 teaspoon gingerbread spice, approx. 70 g sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon to taste and marinate for half an hour, or better longer.
  2. Preheat the oven to 160 ° C circulating air (top / bottom heat 180 ° C).
  3. Mix the flour, almonds, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder and the remaining gingerbread spice to a smooth dough. Also add cinnamon here to taste. Mix the marinated fruit pieces into the dough and pour the dough into a greased and floured springform pan (28 cm).
