1- Preheat your oven to 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
