Apples, cream, and cookies—these three ingredients are all it takes to create an amazing dessert from our beloved category: desserts that don't require baking. The resulting apple pie in glasses looks impressive and tastes fantastic. Be prepared for your guests to request the recipe!
Feel free to experiment with this recipe. I often add cinnamon to the apples, but cardamom or vanilla make great alternatives. While I prefer walnuts, almonds or other nuts can be just as delicious. No matter what, you—and your guests—will be delighted with the outcome.
Apple pie in Glasses
Ingredients:
- 5 sweet apples,
- 2 tablespoons of honey,
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice,
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon,
- roughly 1 1/4 cups of 30% cream,
- about 3.5 ounces of mascarpone cheese,
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar,
- approximately 10.5 ounces of ground cookies,
- 3 tablespoons of ground walnuts.
How to prepare:
- Peel, wash and cube the apples. Place them in a pot, adding the cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice—stew for about 20 minutes or until the apples fall apart.
- Divide the cooked apples into two portions and let cool. Then, blend one portion into a puree.
- Mix the cream and mascarpone cheese in a separate bowl with the powdered sugar. Finely grind the walnuts and cookies.
- To assemble the dessert, begin with two tablespoons of ground cookies in each glass. Follow with two tablespoons of stewed apples and a layer of the cream mixture. Add another layer of ground cookies, then some of the apple puree. Finish by garnishing with ground walnuts.
- Refrigerate the prepared apple pie in glasses for about an hour and a half before serving. Enjoy!
