Stir and cook over medium heat until the apples soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack close to the center of the oven.<\/li>\n<li>On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry to about 1\/8-inch thick and cut the pastry into 3-by-3-inch squares. Press the squares into the wells of a mini muffin tin and poke the bottoms with a fork to dock. Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center. Repeat for the remaining pieces of pastry and apple filling.<\/li>\n<li>Bake until the pastries are puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the apple puffs to a wire rack to cool while you make the meringue.<\/li>\n<li>For the meringue: In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, lemon juice and egg whites on medium speed until the meringue is glossy, smooth and holds a stiff peak.<\/li>\n<li>Dollop a tablespoon of the meringue on top of each puff and use a kitchen torch to brown the outside. Alternatively, place the puffs on a baking sheet and broil until the meringue is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Bakeware for your recipe<\/h2>\n<p>You will find below are bakeware items that could be needed for this Apple Puffs with Meringue recipe or similar recipes.

The course consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine and liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of Central Africa and West Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts. <\/li>\n<li>Fruit &#8211; In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world&#8217;s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, &#8220;fruit&#8221; normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term &#8220;fruit&#8221; also includes many structures that are not commonly called &#8220;fruits&#8221;, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains. <\/li>\n<li>Pastry Recipes <\/li>\n<li>Nut Recipes <\/li>\n<li>Egg Recipes <\/li>\n<li>Low Sodium <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve outlined all the ingredients and directions for you to make the perfect Apple Puffs with Meringue.
