## Tips

- Use Granny Smiths apples for their acid content, which helps them hold their shape.
- Let the apples stand in the batter for about 15 minutes to release liquid and loosen the batter to the correct consistency.
- A brush of apple jelly gives the cake a shine.
- For an even better taste, add a bit of squeezed orange and ground cinnamon.
