Critical Success Points

  • Ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Keeping the butter soft (not melted) when making the almond cream to avoid curdling.
  • Piping the almond cream evenly so the apple slices sit flat.
  • Baking until a clean knife test; under‑baking leads to a soggy centre.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking pan with oven mitts.
  • Melted butter is hot; pour slowly to avoid burns.
  • Use a sharp knife carefully when peeling and slicing apples.
