Summary
I have read that Apple snow is an Elizabethan recipe and it may be an adaptation of Snow Cream. It certainly wouldn't have been made with Bramley apples since they have only been around for 200 years. Apple Snow is made up of cooked, pureed apples mixed in with whipped cream and egg whites and sweetened to taste. You can adjust the amount of cream according to your taste. I actually think it is best to be fairly light on the cream as that allows the texture of the whipped egg whites to come through. If you want to keep the calories and fat content low, leave out the cream altogether or just add a small amount. A pinch of cinnamon gives it a nice spicy flavour too. As with most recipes, don't be afraid to experiment to suit your own taste and what you have in your cupboards.
Ingredients To serve 4 500g / 1lb of apples; 2-3 tablespoons of water; juice and zest of 1 lemon; 60g / 2 1/2 oz sugar; 2 egg whites; 25g / 1oz sugar; 80ml double cream (optional) Method Peel and core the apples and chop into small pieces then place in a saucepan with the water and lemon zest and juice. Add the sugar and cook on a medium heat until soft and to the texture you like.See the full content of this document
