Apple Snow

Submitted by Tisme

"I am posting this for the ZWT3 (Scandinavia). I got this recipe from a old cookbook, which my mother bought me for Christmas years ago, and I love this book. I have not tried it yet, but it looks very easy and interesting. Finnish apple snow is tradionally served in a glass bowl with a pinch of cinnamon sprinkled on the top."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 500 g tart apples, peeled cored and sliced
• sugar
• 4 egg whites
• 125 g caster sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt

directions

1. Cook apples in a covered pan with little or no water, stirring frequently. When apples are cooked add a little sugar to taste, and whisk to a smooth puree. If it is too stiff add just a little boiling water. Allow to cool.
2. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl and gradually add the sugar, beating as fast as you can until whites form stiff peaks.
3. Add lemon juice to the apple puree in another large bowl.
4. Stir in a little of the beaten egg whites, and finally fold in the rest of the whites until well blended.
5. Pour into a glass bowl to serve, and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon on top.

I left my apples a little chunky and added apple pie spices. This is a great dessert or breakfast. I was looking for something that would actually make me feel like I had dessert and not some little tidbit(on a diet) I liked mine best chilled with some whipped cream. Thanks for posting! I'll make this one again.

*Made for Aussie/NZ Forum Tag Game* We really enjoyed this dessert. It was so simple and surprisingly light- just melt in the mouth texture. Very dreamy! Next time I think that I'll make extra stewed apples and put some at the base of each dish and then top with the Apple Snow. This easily serves 6 as is -giving quite a good sized dessert. I used 3 Granny Smith apples for this recipe. A very economical dish too. Thanks for another great recipe :)

This was great! I made one recipe worth for 7 people and ended up having more than that many servings - perhaps my serving size is smaller, which ended up being a good thing since most the family had seconds.

I love this recipe. I first had this way back in 1963 when I was on a school exchage trip to the city. My host mother made it for dessert. I have been making it on and off ever since and never thought to post it. :) The only difference we make is to put a layer of whipped cream on top before sprinkling with the cinnamon. Sometimes I also add a little whipped cream to the egg & apple mix as this is how my host mother made it. Guess she thought us kids needed fattening up LOL. A keeper for sure :)
