Description

This apple pavlova recipe is a simple and elegant dessert perfect for fall. Enjoy the combination of crisp meringue, whipped cream, and baked apple topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Salted caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until meringue is glossy.
  4. Fold in vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar.
  5. Spread meringue onto a baking sheet in a circle or individual portions.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until meringue is crisp. Turn off oven and let cool completely inside.
  7. While meringue bakes, cook apples with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until softened.
  8. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  9. Top meringue with whipped cream and baked apples.
  10. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • For mini pavlovas, divide meringue into smaller portions before baking.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven. Meringue should be crisp but not browned.
  • Store leftover pavlova in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Use your favorite variety of apples for the topping.
