Instructions

  1. Place chopped apples, 20 g sugar, and 30 ml water in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and break down into a compote, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove compote from heat and stir in 5 ml fresh lemon juice. Let cool slightly.
  4. Preheat oven to 150 C (300 F).
  5. In a clean bowl, beat 1 egg white with 1 pinch cream of tartar until foamy.
  6. Gradually add 15 g sugar for meringue while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Spoon the apple compote into a small ovenproof dish.
  8. Carefully spread the meringue over the compote, sealing edges to prevent shrinking.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until meringue is lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and sour flavor.
  • Make sure the bowl and beaters are clean and dry before whipping egg whites.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for best texture.

Serving Suggestions
