Pie with apples and protein cream. Apple pie made from shortcrust pastry with whipped egg whites Recipe for pie with protein cream

As a child, my mother often prepared us apple pie, which she coated with protein glaze on top, resulting in an airy delicacy with a crispy crust.
Shortbread pie with apples and whipped egg whites, the recipe for which I will tell you today, is a variation on this theme.

Recipe for shortbread pie with apples:

  • Egg yolks – 2 pcs.
  • Butter – 100 g (you can use margarine instead of butter or make a mixture of butter and margarine)
  • Powdered sugar – 50 g.
  • Apples – 2 pcs.
  • Flour – 200 g (about 1.5 cups with a volume of 250 ml)
  • Milk – 2 tbsp. spoons

For the meringue:

  • Egg whites – 2 pcs.
  • Sugar – 100 g.

How to bake:

Grind the softened butter with powdered sugar and yolks, you should get a homogeneous mass similar to a smooth cream.

Add flour to the mixture and grind it into crumbs.

Pour 2 tbsp into the resulting mass. spoons of milk and knead a soft elastic dough. Try to knead the dough quickly, since if you knead for a long time, gluten will begin to form in the dough and the crust in the finished pie will turn out hard.


Roll out the cake, place it in a baking dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Attention! Before placing the shortbread in a cold place, prick it with a knife or fork. This will help prevent the dough from swelling and deforming during baking.

The next step in preparing apple meringue pie is preparing the filling.

Cut the apples into large pieces and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent the flesh from darkening. Sprinkle with sugar and set aside - we want the apples to become softer and release excess juice, which we will later add salt. You can soften the apples a little by heating them in a saucepan with a piece of butter. In this case, we reduce the possibility that the apples will “flow” during baking.

Beat the whites into a dense mass, adding 100 grams of sugar, achieve a shiny snow-white glaze.

Note: avoid getting fat particles into the container in which you are whipping the meringue, otherwise the glaze may not whip up.

What other features and rules exist for whipping proteins with sugar can be found in a specially created article on my blog:

We take the cold shortbread out of the refrigerator, put the apples on the dough and put the apple pie in the oven, preheated to 180-200 C, for half an hour.

After this time, cover the cake with white glaze and put it back into the oven at 120 C, baking time - 1 hour.

To ensure that shortbread pie with apples always turns out:

1. The apples should not be too juicy, otherwise the cake will become soggy and taste like raw dough. It’s good if these are apples that have been picked from the tree a long time ago and have become looser in structure.

2. The shortbread will be tender and crumbly if you take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. If you use cold butter (such dough recipes also exist), the dough will be firmer.

3. Apple meringue pie should be eaten freshly baked! If you leave it on the counter overnight (or in the refrigerator, it doesn't matter), the meringue may become soggy and partially melt.

Here's what we get:

I will answer the questions that I most often receive regarding this recipe:

What pan is used to bake apple pie?

In this recipe I use a regular metal mold with a diameter of 25 cm. You can use a mold with a larger or smaller diameter, but in this case you will need to increase or decrease the amount of ingredients proportionally.

Do I need to grease the mold?

There is no need to grease the apple pie pan for this recipe, as the dough contains a large amount of butter.

Why is the meringue crust not crispy?

This may be due to the fact that the apples are very juicy, or there is high humidity in the apartment.

Is it possible to add nuts to meringue?

Adding nuts will make the meringue cap smaller in volume (since nuts absorb moisture well), but this will not make it any less tasty. I bake shortbread pie with apples according to this recipe with whipped egg whites without nuts, but I think it will be tastier with them.

Is it possible to use sour apples instead of sweet ones?

I will be glad to see your feedback and photos of the result! Write how the apple pie with meringue turned out, did you and your family like it!?

I suggest you try the famous, delicious and delicate pie with cottage cheese and protein soufflé. It’s not at all difficult to prepare, you just need to follow the proportions. The finished pie must be allowed to cool completely or even put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. The pie will only benefit from this. I used a 250 ml glass and very large eggs. It so happened that I had two yolks in each egg, so I had to take two eggs instead of three. Therefore, 4 yolks from two eggs went into the cottage cheese and two whites remained. Of the two proteins, my soufflé turned out to be not high. And you cook strictly according to the recipe.

Pie ingredients:

For this pie, it would be good to use full-fat cottage cheese, preferably homemade. I had cottage cheese with a fat content of 15%. Rub it through a sieve.

In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder, cut into solid butter, grind into crumbs or chop finely, trying to avoid touching the crumbs with your hands.

Separately, beat one egg with sugar until fluffy white mass.

Add the beaten egg to the butter crumbs.

Quickly knead the dough and put it in the refrigerator.

For the filling, mix mashed cottage cheese, yolks, sugar, semolina, sour cream, vanillin. The mass should be fluffy and homogeneous. I didn't beat it with a blender, but just mixed it with a spoon.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and spread it over the bottom of the mold, making sides of 1-1.5 cm. First line the bottom of the mold with parchment.

Pour the curd filling on top. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Be careful not to burn the bottom. The filling should set around the edges and become golden, while the center should still be jiggly.

Meanwhile, beat the whites with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. When turning the container with proteins over, they should not spill out.

Remove the pie from the oven and place the egg whites on top. Place in the oven again for 15-20 minutes, first lowering the temperature to 150-160 degrees. The protein soufflé should turn golden.

Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely. When it became warm, I put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

“Tears” immediately appeared on the cake. Release the cake from the mold and you can cut it.

How gentle he is...

Soft like a soufflé...

Melts in your mouth...

Apple pie made from shortcrust pastry with whipped egg whites - recipe with photo:

To prepare shortcrust pastry, take a dry and clean bowl and sift the flour through a sieve.


Add sugar, baking powder and vanillin to it, mix everything dry.


Separating the yolks from the whites, add them to the resulting dry mixture, chop the margarine into small pieces and add sour cream.


Now you need to grind all the ingredients well.


Knead the dough, which will eventually turn out soft and elastic.


Place the shortbread dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour, wrapping it in a plastic bag or cling film.


Meanwhile, while the dough is cooling, let's prepare the whipped egg whites.
To obtain a fluffy foam, the whites must be well cooled and whipped in a clean, dry enamel or ceramic bowl. Separate the yolks from the whites carefully, otherwise if a little yolk gets into the whites, there is a chance that they will not whip. For the cream, I use powdered sugar instead of sugar - it’s easy to whip and due to the fact that grains of sugar don’t need to dissolve, the foam turns out fluffy and strong.


Add a pinch of salt and a couple of drops of lemon juice to the whites. Beat with a whisk until you get an airy foam. If you are using a mixer, beat at the lowest speed first.


Next, add powdered sugar 1-2 tbsp. until you get a thick foam. The whipped egg white cream is ready.


Peel the apples and cut them into slices, slices or slices (as you like)


Let's take the dough out of the refrigerator. Spread 1/3 of the dough over the entire baking sheet lined with parchment paper.


Pour in the apples.


Cover the apples with whipped egg whites.


On top, use a coarse grater to grate the remaining shortbread dough, sprinkling it over the entire surface of the apple pie with whipped egg whites.


Place the pie for 30-40 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.


This is the fluffy, airy and melt-in-your-mouth apple pie made from shortcrust pastry with whipped egg whites.
