- Meanwhile, whip with an electric beater the whites until they form soft peaks.
- Slowly pour the hot syrup into the whites, beating all along until cool.
- Spread meringue on top of apples, bake in preheated 350 F oven until golden.
- Chill.
Tips:
- For the perfect meringue, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature and free of any yolk. Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high as they begin to foam.
- To achieve stiff peaks, continue whipping the egg whites until they are glossy and hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- When folding the meringue into the apple mixture, use a gentle touch to avoid deflating the meringue. Use a spatula and fold the meringue in a circular motion until just combined.
- For a golden-brown topping, sprinkle the meringue with granulated sugar before baking. This will create a crispy and caramelized crust.
- Keep an eye on the apple meringue while it's baking. The meringue should be cooked through and slightly browned on top, but not overcooked or burnt.
