Apple and Blackberry Meringue Souffles Recipe

Apple and Blackberry Meringue Souffles Recipe

  • 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
  1. Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly butter two 1-cup ramekins (4 inches in diameter by 1 1/2 inches high).
  2. In a heavy saucepan simmer apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and brandy, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve soufflés immediately.
