How the clue works
The definition is pastry, referring to the German Christmas bread/cake stollen. The wordplay takes STOLEN (meaning "hot", as in stolen goods) and inserts the top letter of "Laptop" — L — into it. STOL + L + EN gives STOLLEN. The clue's surface reading about a laptop falling into a hot pastry is rather neat, even if stollen is arguably more bread than pastry!
