Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Apple (crisp variety, diced)
- 2 large Pears (ripe but firm, diced)
- 1 medium Orange (segments, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1.5 cups Red grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 3 large Egg whites
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Wash, peel (if necessary), and dice the apples and pears into small, uniform pieces. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Add orange segments, halved grapes, and blueberries to the bowl with the diced apples and pears.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour this mixture over the fruit and gently toss until all the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit salad into an oven-safe serving dish or individual ramekins.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Spoon or pipe the meringue over the fruit salad, ensuring it covers the top completely.
Place the dish/dishes under the broiler, watching closely, for 1-2 minutes until the meringue is lightly browned. Remove immediately to prevent burning.
Serve the cinnamon fruit salad warm with the toasted meringue cloud for a delightful contrast of flavors and temperatures.
