Instructions
-
Prepare the Apple Mixture: Start by placing the cooking apple, white sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of water into a large saucepan. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Cook the Apples: Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat, allowing it to simmer gently for about 8 to 10 minutes. During this time, the apples will soften and become pulpy. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Taste and Adjust: After the cooking time, carefully taste the apple mixture. If the flavor is a bit tart for your liking, feel free to add more sugar to achieve your desired sweetness.
-
Cool and Mix: Once the apple mixture is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Once itโs cool enough to handle, beat in the egg yolks and whisky until well combined. Allow this mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
-
Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will add a light and airy texture to your dessert. Once the egg whites are whipped, gently fold them into the cooled apple mixture. Take care to maintain the lightness by folding gently until just combined.
-
Chill the Mixture: After the egg whites are incorporated, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill until youโre ready to serve. This chilling step will help the flavors meld beautifully.
-
Serve: To serve, spoon the chilled apple mixture into elegant serving dishes or glasses. For a beautiful presentation, you can decorate each serving with slices of dried apple. These can be made by thinly slicing dessert apples, spreading them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and baking at 140ยฐC (284ยฐF) for about 30 minutes until they become crisp and golden.
