You can replace the grated orange zest with lemon zest and the natural plain yogurt with vanilla, lemon or fruit flavored yogurt.

Instead of granulated sugar, you can add brown sugar or coconut sugar: in this case the dessert will be darker. If you prefer, you can spread a light layer of jam or jam over the first sheet before arranging the sliced ​​apples.

If you don’t have a rectangular pan available, you can use a circular mold with a diameter of 24 centimetres.
