Tips

  • Make sure the baking sheet has edges, such that any over-added vanilla sauce stays on the baking sheet.
  • Let the cake cool considerably before adding the jelly and raftisnow.
  • Fan of cinnamon? Brush the apples with some cinnamon powder.
    You can substitute almond shavings for the pistachios.
