Ingredients

Homemade macaroons

  • 1 pcs. egg white
  • 50 gram Almond Flour
  • 150 gram Sugar

Applesauce

  • 1500 gram Apples
  • 0.5 pcs. Vanilla pod
  • 50 gram Water

Whipped Cream

  • 0.5 l Cream

Instructions

Macaroons

  • Combine the egg whites, almond flour, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
  • Transfer the macaroon mixture to a piping bag.
  • Pipe the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit) in a conventional oven for 20-30 minutes.
  • Allow the macaroons to cool on a wire rack.
  • This recipe yields 32 pieces, and you will only need 2 pieces per person. It's just a bit tricky to divide the egg whites into smaller portions.

Applesauce

  • Peel the apples and remove the core.
  • Cut the apples into smaller pieces.
  • Place the apples, vanilla bean, and water in a saucepan and let it simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until the apples are tender.
  • Once the apples are tender, remove the vanilla bean.
  • Mash the apples into smaller pieces or leave the sauce chunky. It's a matter of preference.

Whipped Cream

  • Whip the cream with an electric mixer until it is firm and the bowl can be flipped upside down without the cream falling out.

Serving

  • Find 6 glasses and spoon 2 large tbsp. of applesauce into the bottom of each glass. Place 2 macaroons in the glass and a tbsp. of whipped cream on top.
  • Garnish with mint, if desired.
