- 2 cups coarsely grated peeled Golden Delicious apples (about 2)
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 2 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup picked-over fresh blackberries, quartered
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly butter two 1-cup ramekins (4 inches in diameter by 1 1/2 inches high).
- In a heavy saucepan simmer apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and brandy, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites until they just hold stiff peaks. Beat in hot apple mixture and blackberries until just combined.
- Spoon mixture into ramekins, mounding it in centers, and run a knife around sides, freeing mixture to aid rising. Bake soufflés on a baking sheet in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown, about 8 minutes, and while they are still warm sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
- Serve soufflés immediately.
