apple snow with blackberry ripple

Faced with piles of blackberries from a recent walk and a bag of Bramley cooking apples from my Mum’s tree, I felt myself lean towards my default blackberry and apple crumble. But then I remembered the cloud-eating joy of apple snow and wondered if it was still as good as I remembered. It was. Better in fact as I added a blackberry ripple.

Apple snow is made by folding whipped egg whites with stewed apple/apple sauce. That’s it. I’ve added a blackberry sauce but you can make it without. You could even cheat and use a jar of apple sauce if you don’t want to cook your own apples. This is an old fashioned recipe and is so delightful that I think it deserves our attention again. It is so easy to make and also works for a whole host of modern dietary requirements since it is dairy, gluten and refined sugar free. But don’t let that put you off if you eat everything. It is one of the desserts you can serve up every night of the week and not feel like you’ve ODd on sugar. You could even have it for breakfast.

There are no precise measurements in the guide below. Don’t let that stress you out, just know that you can freestyle this a bit to suit your tastebuds and whatever number of people you’re feeding.
