Necessary ingredients:

For the base:
- 60 g flour
- 60 g sugar
- 6 g cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 pinch of baking powder

For the apples:
- 2 medium apples
- 100 ml apple juice
- 20 ml lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

For the cream:
- 60 g sugar
- 160 ml milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 packet gelatin
- 150 g whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- vanilla essence

For decoration:
- whipped cream
- chocolate candies
- jellies

Step by step in preparing the apple diplomat:

1. Preparing the base: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until a firm meringue forms. In another bowl, mix the yolks with the cinnamon, grated lemon zest, and oil. Incorporate this mixture into the egg whites, then add the flour mixed with the baking powder. Homogenize the composition.

2. Baking the base: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the base mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes or until the base turns golden. Check with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the base is ready.

3. Preparing the apples: While the base cools, peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Place them in a pot with the apple juice, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Boil them over medium heat until soft, then drain well in a colander.

4. The delicious cream: In a bowl, beat the yolks with the sugar, then add the milk. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the cream thickens. Meanwhile, prepare the gelatin according to the package instructions. After the cream has cooled slightly, incorporate the gelatin and the whipped cream, gently mixing to keep the air in the cream.

5. Assembling the diplomat: Cut the base into two parts. If you want to make two small cakes, use two small molds. Soak the base with the juice in which the apples were boiled. Pour a layer of cream, add a layer of apples, then cover with another layer of cream. Repeat the process if you opted for two small cakes.

6. Decoration: Let the dessert chill for 5-10 minutes to set. Decorate with whipped cream, chocolate candies, and colorful jellies for a festive and attractive appearance.

Serving suggestions: The apple diplomat pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra touch of flavor.

Possible variations: You can replace the apples with caramelized peaches or pears for a different flavor note. Also, adding ground nuts to the cream can provide a pleasant contrast of textures.

This apple diplomat is not only a quick and simple dessert but also a true delicacy that will impress everyone. Enjoy it with your loved ones and savor every bite!
