Preparation steps
For the crust, combine butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, stirring for at least 2 minutes between. Add flour, hazelnuts and baking powder and stir into batter, alternating with milk. Pour batter into bottom of springform pan (26 cm)(approximately 10 inches) lined with parchment paper and bake in preheated oven at 175°C (approximately 350°F) for 35–40 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
For the filling, soak gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water until softened, about 10 minutes. Peel apples quarter, core and cut into wedges. Mix apple slices with 60 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) sugar and apple juice and simmer for about 5 minutes. Squeeze gelatin out and add to apple slices, then allow to cool in a cold water bath. Mix mascarpone, quark, rose water, remaining sugar, lime zest and juice. Add to apple slices and stir. Whip cream until stiff and carefully fold in.
Place half of apple cream on top of crust in springform pan, top with amaretto cookies, then top with remaining cream. Let pie chill for at least 2 hours.
Rinse apples, cut into thin slices and cook in apple juice for 1 minute. Drain on absorbent paper. Arrange apple slices around pie border. Decorate cake with amaretto cookies, lemon balm and chopped hazelnuts and serve.
