Remarks

If you like the taste, you can sprinkle the apples with a little cinnamon in step 1.
For a more distinctive flavour, replace the powdered sugar with cane sugar, and/or add 1 or 2 tablespoons of rum with the lemon juice to the apples.
If you're worried about the adhesion of your tin, line the bottom with a circle of baking paper.
