Quarter Core,Peel and Thinly Slice the Apples and place them in a bowl and pour over the Lemon Juice.
Put the Eggs Sugar and Lemon Rind in a Bowl,and whisk the mixture till its thick and Mousse like,the whisks should leave a trail to indicate when its done.
Sift Half the Flour,all the baking powder and the salt over the egg Mousse,then fold in gentl with a metal spoon,slowly drizzle in the melted butter from the side of the bowl and fold it in gently with the spoon.
Sift over the remaining flour and fold it in gently then add the apples and fold in to.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean, remove from the tin and let cool on a wire rack.
