Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Granular sugar alternative (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or tart pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, unsweetened applesauce, two whole eggs, 1/4 cup of the sugar alternative, and cornstarch until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and gently boils (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the four egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar alternative to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
Pour the lemon filling into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly. Gently spoon the meringue on top of the lemon filling, spreading it to the edges to completely seal the filling underneath.
Use the back of a spoon to create swirls in the meringue for a decorative effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your No Sugar Added Fat Free No Crust Lemon Meringue Tart!
