APPLE SOUFFLE
The first souffles were created in the enlightened 18th century France and here we are in the 21st trying to put together one of our own. Again. This time we used apples as the main ingredient and flavored them with vanilla extract and cinnamon. Also, ladyfingers and cognac were a must.

APPLE-ROSEMARY SOUFFLE
Sweet souffles are nothing more than beaten egg whites folded into a base, which can be made of pastry cream, chocolate or fruit puree, and baked. In this souffle, the base is thick caramelized applesauce highlighted subtly with rosemary. Once these souffles are risen and ready, they must be rushed to the table because they begin to fall immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the molds. Generously coat the interiors of 8 6-ounce straight-sided ramekins with the softened butter using a pastry brush or your fingers. Pour 2 tablespoons sugar into 1 dish and turn it until all surfaces are coated, then tip the sugar out into the next and repeat the process until all the ramekins have a thorough coating of butter and sugar. Set the prepared molds in a large shallow baking pan or on a half-sheet pan.
- 2. Applesauce. Tie the rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine, wrapping the twine in a spiral up the length of the stems to keep the needles from falling off in the sauce. Put 3/4 cup sugar in a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. When the sugar begins to melt, stir it with a wooden spoon. it will form big lumps at first, but keep cooking and stirring until all the sugar is dissolved and you have a smooth amber syrup. As soon as it reaches this stage, add 2 tablespoons butter and stir until it is melted and incorporated. Add the apples and stir. The caramel will harden and form lumps again, but once the sauce cooks it will dissolve. Add the rosemary bundle, cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean. Stir in the vanilla extract if using. Puree the mixture with a handheld immersion blender, in a food processor, or by passing it through a food mill. You should have a deep brown sauce that is thick enough to hold its shape in a mound. (This applesauce can be stored covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.)
- 3. Egg whites. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and liquor if suing into the applesauce. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue to beat until they form stiff peaks. Using a large rubber spatula, fold one-third of the whites into the apple mixture until it is thoroughly incorporated, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Tilt the bowl over the prepared souffle cups and, using the rubber spatula to carefully guide the mixture, fill the dishes to 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe up any spills ont he sides of the dishes and, using your thumb, wipe off any mixture that is touching the rims. If the souffle bakes onto any buttered surface at the top of dish, it will stick and prevent it from rising straight up. At this point the souffles can be held up to 1 hour at room temperature.
- 4. Baking. Put the baking pan holding the souffles in the oven and pour about 1/2 inch hot tap water into the pan. Bake until the souffles are nicely browned and risen about 1 1/2 inches, 20 to 25 minutes. Using tongs or oven mitts, immediately transfer the hot dishes to individual serving plates and rush them to the tables with pitchers of the custard sauce. Each guest should break open their souffle in the middle and pour in some of the custard.
- 1. Heating the milk and warming the yolks. Pour the milk and sugar into a small (1 to 2-quart) saucepan and set it over medium heat. Put the egg yolks in a medium stainless-steel mixing bowl and float that bowl in a larger bowl half full of hot tap water. Whisk the yolks until they are lukewarm, about 90 degrees to 100 degrees F. (it will take less than 1 minute), then lift the bowl out of the water.
- 2. Cooking the custard. The instant the milk mixture comes to a rolling boil and rises in the pan, lift it off the heat. With the whisk in one hand and the saucepan in the other, pour the boiling milk into the egg yolks as you whisk constantly but gently. Continue to gently stir the sauce with the whisk for 30 seconds. At this point it should be fully cooked. An instant-read thermometer set in the sauce should register 170 degrees to 180 degrees F. It should coat a teaspoon, but it will become much thicker when it cools. (If for some reason the sauce did not get hot enough to thicken, you can place the bowl on top of a saucepan of boiling water and stir it with a rubber spatula until it reaches 170 degrees F. Do not heat the sauce above 180 degrees F. or it will curdle.) Now whisk the sauce rapidly for 30 seconds to cool it and then pour it through a fine sieve. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Pour the milk into a small (1 to 2-quart) saucpean and place it over medium-high heat. Watch the pan carefully. As soon as the milk comes to a full boil, add the herbs and any additional flavoring, push them under the surface of the pan and let the herbs steep for 30 minutes. If they steep longer, it will have little effect on the flavor, but you should uncover the pan so that the milk can cool faster. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a large liquid measuring cup, pressing down firmly on the herbs with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid from the leaves. Add fresh milk if needed to measure 2 cups.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 12-inch iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the thyme sprigs over medium-high heat. Add the apples and brown on all sides until just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cook, gently stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the apples caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the thyme and set the apples aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pod and seeds with the melted butter, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cake flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the milk until combined.
- Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whip to soft peaks, and then fold into the batter.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the clean skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the butter up the sides of the pan. When the butter is foamy, spread the sauteed apples in the pan, then pour in the batter. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered until the center of crepe no longer wobbles when shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar on top, and if you like, serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.

FLUFFY APPLE MOUSSE
One blogger's apple crepe filling gone wrong and a wonderful discovery is made. An amazing alternative to the ubiquitous chocolate mousse! The recipe calls for 6 egg yolks but no egg whites. I hate freezing egg whites, they always get lost in my TARDIS of a freezer, so I make a Pavlova with the whites and use the mouse as a filling. Good, huh? Pardon me while I pat myself on the back for my ingenuity....

Steps:
- To make the mousse:.
- In a double boiler, beat the eggs with the sugar, apple and lemon juice with a wire whisk. You should get a foamy mixture.
- Don't think you can do this in the microwave or on a pot straight over a flame. Trust me, use a double boiler, or in my case, a Pyrex bowl over a pot of simmering water. Okay, double boiler rant over.
- Keep whisking while it cooks, to keep it foamy until it gains volume up, doubles in size and is thick enough to coat a spoon. Chill.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream and when the sauce is cold, gently fold it inches
- To make the caramalized apple:.
- Dice the apple and add it to the sugar and butter in a frying pan, over medium heat. Remove it when it starts to golden.
- Putting it all together:.
- Pour into the serving cups, over fresh diced apple or caramelized apple, if you've got a sweet tooth.
- Alternatively, use it (with the caramalized apple) as a wonderful filling for Pavlova.

PEAR AND APPLE SOUFFLé
Fruit soufflés are dramatic and impressive yet so easy to make. This one will impress everyone at your table. Make the fruit puree well in advance, and beat the egg whites before you sit down to dinner. Then, when you're too full to eat anything more, fold the two together and put the soufflés in the oven. Just when you're beginning to think you could eat a little dessert, they'll be ready.

Steps:
- Fill a bowl with water, and add the juice of 1/2 lemon. Place the fruit in the water as you prepare it. When all of the fruit is prepared, drain and transfer to a large, heavy saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the vanilla and ginger, and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir, and then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer, stirring often, for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer for another 30 to 40 minutes, stirring often, until the fruit is very soft and beginning to stick to the pan. It may or may not look like applesauce, depending on the texture of the apples and pears that you used (Granny Smith apples, for example, will break down, whereas Galas will not). Remove from the heat, and transfer to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl, and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack adjusted to the lowest position. Butter one 2-quart soufflé dish or six 6-ounce ramekins and dust with sugar (use about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar).
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed for one minute or until they foam. Add the cream of tartar, and continue to beat on low speed for one minute. Turn the speed to medium, and slowly stream in the remaining sugar while you continue to beat until there are firm, satiny peaks. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Fold one third of the egg whites into the apple-pear puree to lighten it. Fold in the rest. Gently spoon into the ramekins or the soufflé dish, mounding it up over the top. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet, and place in the oven. Bake individual soufflés for about 10 minutes, until puffed and golden. They should still be runny on the inside. Bake a large soufflé for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at once.

Tips:
- Use a large mixing bowl for the egg whites to ensure you have enough space to whisk them properly.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whisking them. This will help them reach their full volume.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will become dry and brittle, which will make your soufflé fall.
- Fold the egg whites into the apple mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your soufflé fall.
- Bake the soufflé immediately after assembling it. If you let it sit for too long, the egg whites will start to deflate and the soufflé will fall.
- Serve the soufflé immediately after baking. It will start to fall as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Apple soufflé is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your soufflé turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give apple soufflé a try.
