Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the chopped apples in a medium saucepan along with the water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and start to break down. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Mash the cooked apples with a fork or potato masher until smooth, or use a blender for a silky puree. Let the mixture cool completely.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, use an electric whisk or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled apple puree into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spoon the Apple Snow into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top before serving for added flavor.
