There is definitely no shortage of apples in our country! In each garden and in each farm, several apple trees of different varieties are simply obliged to be planted, because it is always nice to eat your homemade apples without chemicals and nitrates.
The only problem is that it is not always possible to force children to try this domestic fruit for lunch or dessert. But do not worry, only 20 minutes of cooking and apple cream dessert will be ready, and in a form in which no one small sweet tooth can refuse it!
In addition, the products themselves will cost mere pennies for you - a minimum of costs, and for many they will definitely be on the tables, especially for those who live in private houses. So let's get started!
For two servings of delicious mousse you will need:
- 2-3 large apples of any variety;
- 100 g of granulated sugar;
- 1 chicken egg (only protein);
- 100 ml of water;
- a pinch of vanilla;
- a pinch of salt.
If you use large apples in cooking, then approximately count the number of servings depending on the number of apples, for example: 1 apple per 1 serving. If the apples are not too large, then in addition to the two servings, add another small apple. The variety of apples is not so important, the only thing - when purchasing sour varieties, increase the weight of sugar and vice versa.
Peel the apples from the peel with a peeler or a regular knife - we will not need it, especially if the apples were purchased in the store. There, their surface is waxed so that the fruit lasts longer.
Then cut the apples into quarters and cut out all the seed boxes. Wash the quarters in water and cut into small cubes.
Place the apple cubes in a saucepan or stew pan, add 50 grams of granulated sugar, a pinch of vanilla and pour in water. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until the fruit is soft.
During the heat treatment of apples, use protein cream - separate the egg white from the yolk into a bowl with high edges.
Pour salt into it and whisk with a mixer at the highest speed until triple magnification.
Then add the remaining 50 grams of granulated sugar and whip the cream to a dense, airy state.
During this time, the apples are completely extinguished and softened - pour them together with the liquid into a deep container and mash them with a blender until they have a homogeneous structure.
This procedure can be done in a food processor. Ideally, you should get a sweet applesauce.
Be sure to cool the mashed potatoes in a refrigerator or in a bowl of cold water, place a bowl of mashed potatoes in it, and then add whipped protein cream in it and beat the mixer well again until homogeneous. Your dessert cream is ready!
Spread it in glasses, cups or creamers and decorate to your taste. Enjoy your meal!
Convinced of the simplicity of cooking and the products, let's consider the price part of the recipe, especially since there is nothing special to consider there!
Products:
- 2-3 apples - 20 rubles;
- 100 g of granulated sugar - 3 rubles;
- 1 chicken egg (only protein) - 3 rubles.
Total: 2 servings of tender and air mousse for dessert will cost you 26 rubles, and a portion - at 13 rubles. This is despite the fact that apples are present in almost any home and rarely have to buy them in the store, as well as granulated sugar and eggs. And in the season of ripening apples, the cost per 1 kg decreases several times, so this dessert costs almost nothing compared to restaurant prices!
By the way, if after cooking apple mousse to freeze in the freezer, stirring slightly every 15-20 minutes, you will end up with a delicious apple sorbet. But if you just cool in the refrigerator, then this apple cream can be used as a filling for pies, cakes and various desserts!
