Apple Pie with Meringue

Ingredients

Egg white - 3 pieces
Apple - 4 pieces
Baking Powder - ½ teaspoon
Sugar - 14.1 oz
Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz
Butter - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Separate the egg whites and yolks. Set the yolks aside. Whisk the yolks, gradually adding sugar (¼ cup, set aside the remaining sugar). Whisk until thick.

Step 2

Add the yolks, 200 grams of butter, 200 grams of sugar, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and 400 grams of flour to a bowl. Whisk until crumbly (if it seems too homogeneous, add a bit more flour to prevent it from being too sticky). Set aside a portion of the dough (about ¼).

Step 3

Peel the apples and grate them on a coarse grater. Squeeze out some juice from the resulting mixture.

Step 4

Spread the dough on a baking sheet, but do not press it down, as it should remain airy; do not leave any holes. Then spread the grated apples on top. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Top with the egg whites and then sprinkle with the remaining dough.
