Notes

  • I use homemade applesauce, which is rather tart. If buying applesauce try to find an unsweetened sort or at least one that is not overly sweet. If the applesauce is very sweet, add less sugar to the mascarpone applesauce mixture and increase the quantity only after tasting and only if absolutely necessary (keep in mind that the ladyfingers are very sweet as well).
  • Ladyfingers: According to the size of your casserole dish, use more or fewer ladyfingers as required to fill the dish.
