Apple soufflé

 It seems I’d been eating and eating during the past two months, too many delicious pies and sweets, so me and my husband decided to limit the amount of sugar and fat in our regime and keep more healthy diet for a month or so. Diet doesn’t mean the food should be tasteless and dull. Thou, plain meal like steamed fish with broccoli or buckwheat isn’t so bad, especially after a few days of eating it without adding too many salt, spices, butter, cheese or whatever makes it more yummy. 😀
 Another happy moment – desserts for healthy diet do exist! A good and tasty example is Apple Souffle. Apples are baked, then pureed and mixed with egg whites, after those easy steps you need to bake it and voila – tender, airy and delicious dessert is ready! 🙂
I adapted the recipe from old Russian book published in 1984. Apple Souffle

      Thank you for your lovely comment, Hilda! Yes, sometimes it’s good to make a break from heavy/creamy desserts and fried food. 🙂 But still there are some sweets that aren’t very sugary. 🙂

    Hi, how many apples would I need, it says 300-350 grams, but I don’t know how many actual whole apples to use.

    • milkandbun says:

      Hello! It depends on apple size, medium apple is usually about 150-170g (I mean store-bought apples). Even if you take a bit less or more – I’m​ sure the recipe will work anyway.
      Enjoy cooking! Cheers
