Apple Meringue

Apple Dessert

Apples are in available all year round. When apples are in season in the Autumn months, its wonderful to make the most of them, especially when it seems there is a glut of apples. There are so many apple varieties in the UK that it is a shame if we don’t celebrate this amazing fruit that not only tastes good but is good for us too.

Apple Crumble is the obvious apple recipe, but delicious though it is, there are many other options to make a sweet success out of apples! There are savoury possibilities too such as Apple And Parsnip Soup.

When apples are in season it is fun to find different ways to cook them. This Apple Meringue makes an easy, yet impressive, dessert

Many Apple Recipes

There are so many ways to cook apples and most of them are very simple. Bramley apples are of course, the obvious choice for any recipe requiring cooking apples, but you can look around in local shops and find other cooking apples. Whilst there you may discover some local eating apples too. Many apples will keep well to if stored correctly. Alternatively you can stew some apples ready to freeze to use in apple puddings throughout the winter!

You can make this recipe with dessert apples too, the apple mixture may just be a bit more mushy – it will still have plenty of flavour.

Apple Recipes For Autumn

England is abundant with apples from August onwards when the early apples start to ripen. So try your local farm shop, farmers market or local shop and see what varieties you might discover. You can use any variety for Apple Meringue, or any apple pudding. Bramley is often chosen because it is too tart to eat alone and because it holds its texture well when cooked, unlike some apples which go very mushy once cooked.

If you do use a less well known apple variety – do get in touch via the comments box below to let other people know about it.

This Apple Meringue sweet is often cooked with a base, but I find that unnecessary. Without a base the dessert is fairly light and also very easy to make.

Separating Eggs

There aren’t many recipes that require separated eggs that use both the egg yolk and the egg white in the same recipe. So often when you make meringue you are left with egg yolks that need to be used up. There are, of course, recipes calling for egg yolk (real home made custard is one) but this recipe avoids that question altogether.

I usually separate eggs by cracking them and gently letting the white fall away while keeping the yolk in the shell. However it is probably best to buy an Egg Separator.

Easy Last Minute Pudding

Apple Meringue is a recipe you could easily rustle up at the last minute as it has so few ingredients and takes only a few minutes to prepare. All you need are apples, eggs and sugar – all ingredients you may have already or are easy to source at a local shop.

The Apple meringue can be served hot or cold, with cream or ice cream – or just by itself

    I omitted the cinnamon and add crushed peppermint candy to the meringue. It disappeared at the country club I worked at.

    In order to print your recipe it has just wasted 10 A4 pages!!!!! Even the actual recipe is spread over 2 pages. I empathise with your need to have advertising to fund the exercise. However, if your website had been put together properly – it would have taken 1 page including the graphic. To say that I am therefore never likely to look at any of your other recipes is putting it mildly.
    A shame, because this recipe augurs well for your cooking ability.

      Hi Patricia. Thank you for your feedback. Sorry you used up so much paper and ink. And thank you for understanding that I do have to have advertising!

      If you use the Print Recipe link at the bottom of the recipe – you can delete sections of text with the click of your mouse before you print – so you can just get the recipe itself. In addition I am gradually changing all my recipes over to a new format which make it much simpler to print the recipe – such as for Eve’s Pudding.

      I have over 450 recipes so it does take a little time. I am just about to do this one following your comment

      I very much hope you enjoy your Apple Meringue and I do hope you will use more recipes from the site – especially when the printing is easier. Please let me know if I can be of any further help at any time. And thank you for visiting Penny’s Recipes.

        Thanks Penny. We enjoyed the apple meringue last night – a big hit! – especially since desserts which are easy & also gluten free are not that easy to find. Think I will grate in a bit of lemon rind and perhaps use a little lemon juice in cooking the apple next time, just to try, although it is delicious as is.
        Happy cooking 🙂
