1. Caramelized Apples:
Prepare the Apples:
Peel and chop 1kg of apples into small pieces.
Caramelize:
In a large pan, add the 90g sugar and lemon juice. Heat on medium until the sugar melts and starts to caramelize slightly.
Add the chopped apples and stir to coat them in the caramel. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften.

Set Aside:
Once thickened, remove from heat and let the apples cool while preparing the cake batter.

Prepare Baking Tray:
Line a 32x37cm baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the tray.
