- 4 beautiful apples (reinette for example)
- 4.25 oz (120 g) of caster sugar mixed with 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 4.5 oz (130 g) of icing sugar
- 2.8 oz (80 g) of butter a few grains of coarse salt*
- 4 milk caramels (from Isigny for example)
Step-by-step recipe
1 Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°c) (th6).
2 Peel and core your apples (you can lightly coat them with lemon juice).
3 Then place them on an earthenware or porcelain dish and fill them with half the sugar, the butter divided among them, then a caramel in each and add your 2 grains of coarse salt, complete with the rest of the sugar, then bake for 25 minutes.
4 Just 5 minutes before the end of cooking your apples,
In a large bowl, pour your egg whites with a drop of lemon juice, beat them until stiff peaks form, just before they become too stiff pour the icing sugar and finish beating them.
5 Remove your apples from the oven and set your oven to 240°(th 8) or grill setting
6 Using a small ladle and a spatula, coat your apples with your meringue and return to the oven for 5 minutes
Serve hot or warm on beautiful plates and await the admiring "oh"s from your guests...
* this little taste of lightly salted caramel has the best effect on the tongue
