Preparation
- Place the apples in a saucepan with water to cover, add the cup of sugar, bring to a simmer and cook until the apples are tender, about 25 minutes. This step may be done in advance but the apples should be reheated before continuing with the recipe.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Drain the apples and place them in a round baking dish, mounding them into a pyramid.
- Beat the egg whites until they begin to peak, then gradually beat in the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the lemon peel. Continue beating until the egg whites hold firm peaks but are not dry.
- Cover the apples with the meringue, place in the oven and bake 15 minutes, until the meringue begins to brown. Serve at once.
