Ingredients
- 3 cooking apples peeled, cored and thickly sliced
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar or to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 egg whites
- 160 g / 5 ½ oz Caster sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Put the prepared apple slices in a saucepan and drizzle over the lemon juice, 4 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp of water.
- Stew the apples over a low heat for a few minutes under alid until tender (stirring a couple of times).
- Once cooked taste and stir in a little more sugar ifnecessary (don’t over sweeten as it’s nice to have a contrast to the very sweetmeringue topping). Then set aside.
- Now make the meringue by whisking (electric) the egg whites in a large clean bowl until they form stiff peaks.
- Gradually add the castor sugar 1 tbsp at a time whilst still whisking. You should end up with a smooth and glossy meringue.
- Pour the stewed apples into an oven proof dish.
- Put the meringue mixture on top of the applesand spread evenly with a spatula.
- Pat the meringue with your spatula to give a ruffled surface.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until pale golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a 19 - 21 cm serving dish heat proof serving dish.
- Other fruits such as rhubarb can also be used, just adjust the sugar accordingly.
- If you're making this for someone convalescing from dental surgery etc then cook the apples until completely mushy.
