Tips
- Use Granny Smith apples because their acidity strengthens the pectin, helping the slices hold their shape while cooking.
- Always wear a cut-resistant glove when using a mandoline.
- The apples naturally flatten out under their own weight during the piling process.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of cinnamon-spiked whipped cream.
