For the cream, I use powdered sugar instead of sugar - it is easy to beat and due to the fact that sugar grains do not need to dissolve, the foam is lush and strong.


Add a pinch of salt and a couple of drops of lemon juice to the proteins. Beat with a whisk until airy foam is obtained. If you are using a mixer, beat at the lowest speed first.


Next, add powdered sugar, 1-2 tbsp. until a thick foam is obtained. Cream of whipped proteins is ready.

Bon appetit everyone!

As a child, my mother often cooked us an apple one, which she smeared with protein glaze on top, as a result, we got an airy treat with a crispy crust.
Shortcake with apples and whipped egg whites, the recipe of which I will tell you today, is a variation on this theme.

Recipe for shortbread pie with apples:

• Egg yolks - 2 pcs.
• Butter - 100 g (you can use margarine instead of butter or make a mixture of butter and margarine)
• Powdered sugar - 50 g.
• Apples - 2 pcs.
• Flour - 200 g (about 1.5 cups with a volume of 250 ml)
• Milk - 2 tbsp. spoons

For meringue:

• Egg whites - 2 pcs.
• Sugar - 100 g.

How to bake:

Rub the softened butter with powdered sugar and yolks, you should get a homogeneous mass, similar to a smooth cream.

Add flour to the mixture and grind it into crumbs.

In the resulting mass, pour 2 tbsp. spoons of milk and knead a soft elastic dough. Try to knead the dough quickly, because, with a long kneading, gluten will begin to form in the dough and the cake in the finished pie will turn out to be hard.

Roll out the cake, put it in a baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Attention! Before putting the sand cake in a cold place, prick it with a knife or fork. This will help to avoid swelling and deformation of the dough during baking.

The next step in making apple pie with meringue is preparing the filling.

Cut the apples into large pieces, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent darkening of the pulp. Sprinkle with sugar and set aside - we need the apples to become softer and give off excess juice, which we will later drain. You can make apples a little tired by heating them in a saucepan with a piece butter. In this case, the possibility that the apples "flow" during baking, we nullify.

Whip the whites into a dense mass, adding 100 grams of sugar, achieve a shiny snow-white glaze.

Note: Avoid getting fat particles into the container in which you whip the meringue, otherwise, the icing may not whip.

What other features and rules exist for whipping proteins with sugar can be found in a specially created article on my blog:

We take out the cold shortbread cake from the refrigerator, put the apples on the dough and send the apple pie to the oven, heated to 180-200 C, for half an hour.

After this time, cover the cake with white icing and send it back to the oven at 120 C, baking time - 1 hour.

To always make a shortbread pie with apples:

1. Apples should not be too juicy, otherwise the cake will get wet and taste like raw dough. It’s good if these are apples that have long been plucked from the tree and have become looser in structure.

2. The sand cake will be tender and crumbly if you put the butter out of the refrigerator and let it lie at room temperature. If you use cold butter (such dough recipes also exist), the dough will be firmer.

3. Apple pie with meringue you need to eat freshly baked! If you leave it on the counter overnight (or in the fridge, it doesn't matter), the meringue may get soggy and partially melt.

Here's what we get:

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about this recipe:

What form is used to bake an apple pie?

For this recipe, I use a regular 25 cm metal mold. You can use a larger or smaller diameter pan, but in this case you need to increase or decrease the amount of ingredients proportionally.

- Do I need to grease the mold?

You do not need to grease the apple pie mold for this recipe, as the dough contains a large amount of butter.

- Why is the meringue crust not crispy?

This may be due to the fact that the apples are very juicy, or the apartment has high humidity.

- Can I add nuts to the meringue?

Adding nuts will make the meringue head smaller (since nuts absorb moisture very well), but this will not make it less tasty. I am making this apple shortbread pie with whipped egg whites without nuts, but I think it will taste better with them.

- Is it possible to use not sweet, but sour varieties of apples?

I'd love to hear your feedback and photos! Write if the apple pie with meringue turned out, did you and your family like it!?
