How to Make Apple Snow
- Peel, core, and chop 1 kg (approximately 2.2 lbs) of apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
- Place the chopped apples in a medium saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely softened.
- Remove from heat and mash the apples with a potato masher or immersion blender until smooth. Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference).
- If the apple purée is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of boiling water, a little at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the warm apple purée.
- Gently fold about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the apple purée to lighten the mixture.
- Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
- Pour the Apple Snow into individual serving glasses or a glass bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon before serving. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
