Meringue roll with apples and cherries
This roll is incredibly easy to make and tastes like something weightless and cloudy, making it perfect for those sweet tooths who are concerned about their figure. The meringue, or meringue made of whipped proteins, is baked on top, but inside it remains slightly moist and reminiscent of a marshmallow, and the apple filling with cherry flecks is a delicious addition. Recipe by Irina Chadeeva with my changes.
Constituents:
for the meringue roll:
- egg whites - 3 pcs.
- sugar - 150 gr.
Filling:
- sour apples - 2 pcs.
- sugar - 2 tbsp.
- cherries in their own juice or frozen - 1 handful
- powdered sugar for sprinkling
Preparation of meringue roll with apples and cherries:
Wash medium sized apples, prick with a toothpick and bake in the oven or microwave until tender.
All the apples should be baked.
Scrape the pulp out of the apples with a spoon, add sugar to it (adjust the amount of sugar to your taste), stir and cool.
Discard the cherries in their own juice in a colander to allow the juice to drain. If using frozen cherries, defrost them and drain them as well. Other berries can be substituted for the cherries.
For the roll, whisk the whites into a stiff foam, add the sugar and whisk again until very stiff.
.
Spread the protein mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment in a rectangle measuring 20 by 30 cm.
Add the whites to the baking tray.
Bake the meringue in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 20 minutes. A lightly browned crust should form on the top.
Remove the finished meringue and cool without removing it from the paper. Then sprinkle the cooled meringue with powdered sugar, place a sheet of baking paper on top and invert. Remove the paper on which the loaf was baked.
;
Spread the apple filling evenly over the meringue, place the cherries on top.
Carefully use the paper to roll up the roll.
The roll rolls up very well, but you need to control that the crust doesn't tear while rolling. If roll-up is a problem, you can cut the crust in half, layer with filling and cut into two-layer pies.
Enjoy!
