'mistakes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apses that I've seen before include "Parts of church" , "Does 'e pass these in churches?" , "Domed areas in church, usually where the altar is" , "Domed areas in church, usually where the altars are" , "Domed areas in churches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
