Ingredients for Apple Souffle

  • 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced)
  • Lemon, Juice Of
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons potato starch
  • Kosher Salt
  • Canola Oil

How to Make Apple Souffle

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thinly slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced) and toss gently with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until pale, thick, and creamy.
  4. Whisk in 2 tablespoons potato starch and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the prepared apple slices.
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Carefully fold the egg whites into the apple mixture in two additions, being gentle not to deflate the egg whites.
  8. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish or six individual ramekins with butter or oil and place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to warm.
  9. Pour the apple mixture into the warm dish. If using ramekins, place them in a baking dish and pour enough hot water into the dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes (20-25 minutes for ramekins), or until the souffle is puffed and golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best texture!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
