How to Make Apple Snow

  1. Peel, core, and chop 1 kg (approximately 2.2 lbs) of apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the warm apple purée.
  8. Gently fold about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the apple purée to lighten the mixture.
  9. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  10. 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.
