For the topping:

For the crumbles:
Stir the butter until soft and creamy. Stir in the lemon rind, the sugar and the salt. Fold in the egg. Combine the flour and the corn starch and stir in. Knead with your fingertips until crumbly.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Evenly divide the crumbles on a greased baking tray (30*40 cm) and press firmly onto the bottom. Divide the apple pudding mixture on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes.
