Tips
- The zest brings the flavour, and the juice keeps the apples from browning.
- The batter will be very thin but that's correct.
- You can layer them neatly or press them in naturally, but pack them tightly.
- If it browns too quickly, you can loosely cover with some foil.
- Let it cool completely before lifting out.
