This easy-to-make bread pudding pie could almost be called a quick-and-dry cake: layered, delicious, and moist, it's made without pastry or frosting, but the meringue topping gives it a striking and festive look. Slices of bread are dipped in an egg wash, layered in a pan in two layers with a layer of spiced applesauce and raisins in between, and baked in the oven. It's then topped with apricot jam and fluffy meringue. Toast the meringue in the oven until golden peaks form, then slice and serve.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a 20cm square pan with butter and line it with foil, leaving a 5cm overhang on all sides; grease the foil.
- In a bowl, combine the applesauce, raisins, lemon zest, and cinnamon. In a shallow bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and egg yolks.
- Dip half the bread slices in the egg mixture and place them in the prepared pan, trimming the edges as needed. Spread the applesauce mixture over the bread. Dip the remaining slices in the egg mixture and place them on top. Bake until the egg mixture is set and the bread is golden, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the apricot jam over the top of the pie. Top with the whipped egg whites and use the back of a spoon to create peaks and swirls. Return to the oven and bake until the meringue is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Let the pie cool in the pan for 1 hour. Then, unmold it by pulling the foil out and cut into squares.
