Ingredients

  • Albumens
    300 gr.
  • Caramel granola
    qs
  • Golden apple
    1 pz.
  • Lemon juice
    qs
  • Pippin apple
    1 pz.
  • Quince apple
    1 pz.
  • Sugar
    300 gr.
  • White vinegar
    25 gr.

Directions

For the apple puree
Pippin apple: cut the pippin apple in slices, not eliminating the peel and seeds. Cook it on a medium flame, together with the lemon juice and the sugar (about 1/3 of the weight of the apple), for about 1h30. Ground until it has the consistency of a puree.
Quince apple: cut the quince apple in slices, not eliminating the peel and seeds. Cook it on a medium flame, together with the lemon juice and the sugar (about 1/3 of the weight of the apple), for about 1h30. Ground until it has the consistency of a puree.
Golden apple: ground the golden apple, not eliminating the peel and seeds. Cook it on a medium flame, adding water and sugar, until it is candied.

For the caramel

Take a round cake pan with a diameter of 24 cm. Place it on a low flame and candy the sugar with the vinegar. Remove the pan from the flame and distribute the caramel also on the sides, let cool and place into a freezer for at least 10 minutes.

For the meringue

Whip the albumens with the sugar, place lightly in the frozen baking pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 150° for 35 minutes.
Place bottom-up onto a plate and leave to rest in a fridge for 12 hours.

Method
Place a slice of meringue in the centre of a plate, spreading on top of it the golden apple caramel. Sprinkle with the caramel granola and, around the meringue slice, place a little pippin and quince puree.
