This was a staple dessert when I was a kid. We always had plenty of home-canned applesauce on hand, so that was the basis. An egg white and whipped cream were folded together with the applesauce. Today I make it with Splenda rather than sugar, but it should be fundamentally SIMPLE. A dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg: fine. But if it takes longer than it takes to combine good applesauce with beaten egg white and whipped cream, you're doing it wrong.

Tried another recipe for this a while back and now it's one of my favorite breakfasts! I whip it up in the morning with one egg white, couple Tbsps sugar and a few Tbsps of apple sauce (with a little cinnamon too) It's very light and still leaves me satisfied. It does seperate, best to make it right before you eat it. Give it a try!

Really good and unusual. Would be perfect with a heavy dinner as a super light but tasty dessert. Don't make it too much in advance as it separated. I made it about 2.5 hours ahead of time and it was too much. You need nice fresh eggs for this as they whites are raw. I made it with Splenda with no problem at all, and we ate it with no topping. I would try cookie crumbs to fancy it up a bit. Another point in its favor--extremely inexpensive to make!

Sooo good. I predict there's going to be a tussle over the last serving of this marvelous dessert. No fat and could be low sugar, if desired. I left my apples a bit chunky and liked them that way. We also enjoyed the optional cookie crumbs but don't think the whipped cream is at all necessary. I might cut back to 1/3c sugar next time if I don't use particularly tart apples. This one's a keeper, Cinnamon.
