- Difficulty: Hard

Ingredients
- 60 g Applesauce, unsweetened
- 45 g Sugar
- 20 g Egg whites, raw
- 2 g Agar, dried
- 1 g Vanilla extract
- 5 g Sugar, powdered
Method
- Cook the applesauce with a third of the sugar over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring, until it thickens slightly into a firm purée; cool completely.
- Soak the agar in a little cold water for 10 minutes, then dissolve it with the remaining sugar in a small pan and bring to a boil, cooking to a light syrup.
- Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, then whip in the cooled apple purée and vanilla until pale and voluminous.
- With the mixer running, slowly pour in the hot agar syrup and continue whipping for 5-8 minutes until the mixture holds a firm, glossy shape and starts to set at the edges.
- Pipe or spoon into swirled mounds on a lined tray and leave to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or until firm to the touch.
- Dust with the powdered sugar and, if you like the traditional paired look, press two mounds flat-side together before serving.
