Description
This apple pavlova combines the light and airy texture of meringue with the sweet and tart flavors of apples for a deliciously simple dessert!
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons corn flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Place the egg whites in a large metal bowl and start to whisk it with an electric whisk or a stand mixer until it forms soft peaks.
-
Gradually and slowly, add the sugar as the egg whites are whisked. Keep the mixer on low speed.
-
Once all the sugar is mixed in properly and dissolved into the egg whites, add the vanilla, sprinkle the corn flour, cream of tartar and salt over the whipped meringue and whisk it once again. The meringue should look thick and glossy and should hold firm peaks.
-
Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Scoop out the whipped meringue in the center of the sheet and start to spread it to give it a circular shape. Don’t flatten it too much.
-
Bake the meringue in a preheated oven at 230 degrees for 90 minutes. Let it cool completely before assembling.
-
For the apple topping, take the butter and brown sugar in a pan and place it on medium heat.
-
Add in the apples, spices, and salt, and cook the apples for a few minutes until they start to soften.
-
Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
-
To assemble the dish, place the cooled pavlova on a serving plate.
-
Add the whipped cream on top and spread it slightly.
-
Top it with the caramelized apples and drizzle some caramel sauce. You can also scatter some chopped nuts for extra crunch!
