Žemľovka with apples, cranberries, and quark is a variation on the familiar Slovak sweet bread pudding made with bread rolls. Finely chopped apples are first mixed with cranberries soaked in orange juice. A quark (soft curd cheese) mixture with eggs, pear juice, and semolina is then layered with sliced bread rolls in a baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), or make individual portions in six oven-safe cups.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Wash, quarter, and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces. Pour the orange juice over the cranberries, add the apples, and let stand briefly.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually stir in the pear juice, quark, salt, semolina, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly, then add the apples.
Grease a baking dish or 6 oven-safe cups with oil, then fill with alternating layers of the quark mixture and sliced bread rolls. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 25–30 minutes.
Tip: This bread pudding has no added sugar and is sweetened only by fruit and juices, so choose sweet, ripe apples. Tart varieties would stand out strongly in the pudding.
