  • Preparation: 30 min
  • Cooking: 120 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (210 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
  • Contains: egg

Ingredients

  • 150 g Applesauce, unsweetened
  • 40 g Sugar
  • 20 g Egg whites, raw

Method

  1. Simmer the applesauce over low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until very thick and reduced; cool completely.
  2. Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks.
  3. Gradually whisk the cooled apple puree and sugar into the egg white, beating for 8-10 minutes until pale, thick and roughly tripled in volume.
  4. Spread the mixture in an even layer, about 1.5 cm thick, on a lined tray.
  5. Dry in an oven set to its lowest temperature (around 70-80°C/160-175°F) for 5-6 hours, with the door slightly ajar, until set and no longer sticky on top.
  6. Cool completely, then cut into squares to serve; because the egg white is only gently dried rather than fully cooked, this is best kept for people who can safely eat lightly set egg white.
