  • 4 Golden or Pink Lady apples, diced
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
  • 100 g granulated sugar for caramel
  • 50 g unsalted butter for caramel
  • 100 ml warmed heavy cream for caramel
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 3 units eggs, separated
  • 80 g granulated sugar for mascarpone cream
  • 1 pack ladyfinger cookies
  • 100 ml apple juice or sweet cider

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Silicone spatula

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the diced apples and brown sugar, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. For the salted caramel sauce, melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until it turns deep amber; then whisk in butter and warmed cream, then let it cool.
  3. In a bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until pale, fold in mascarpone, then whip egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. Dip ladyfingers in apple juice, arrange them in a serving dish, then layer with caramelized apples, salted caramel sauce, and mascarpone cream. Repeat layers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Notes

This dessert is perfect for fall gatherings and holidays. It's best made a day in advance for optimal flavor. For a unique twist, use various apple types or add a splash of vanilla extract to the mascarpone. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but enjoy within 48 hours for best taste.
