Ingredients

6 medium sized Apples
½ C Sugar
½ tsp Cinnamon
¼ C Raisins
¼ C chopped Nuts
Grated rind of 1 Lemon
2 Tbs White wine

grease for baking dish

4 Eggs, separated
½ C Sugar, divided
5 Tbs Cake meal
2 ½ Tbs Potato starch
½ tsp Vanilla
2 Tbs Butter, melted

Instructions

Peel the apples and cut 1/2 inch of the top of each apple and reserve for later use. Remove the cores. Carefully scrape out the insides of the apples, leaving a wall 1/4 inch thick. Chop the pulp in a medium sized bowl. Add the sugar, cinnamon, raisins, nuts, lemon rind and wine. Fill the apple cavities with this mixture. Top each apple with the reserved apple slices. Place the stuffed apples in a greased baking dish large enough to accommodate the apples comfortably. Bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350° F oven. In the meantime, prepare the batter. In a medium sized mixing bowl beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1 Tbs at a time, until the whites are stiff but still shiny. In a separate medium sized bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick, beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until light. Carefully combine the yolk mixture with the beaten whites. Add the cake meal to the potato starch and carefully fold

these dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Add the vanilla flavoring. Gently stir in the melted butter. Pour the batter over the partially baked apples. Return the apples to the oven and continue to bake for another 30 minutes, until the

pudding is set and the apples are tender. Serve warm or cold, plain or with a fruit or wine sauce. Serves 6.
