Instructions

1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Core and peel the apples. Remove the tops and chop them. Combine the chopped apple tops with almonds, citron, and raisins.
2Butter a baking pan. Fill the cored apples with the almond, citron, and raisin mixture. Sprinkle with sugar and pour a little wine over them. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
3While the apples are baking, prepare the ladyfingers. Beat the yolks of 3 eggs until light and creamy. Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar (sifted) and continue beating. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest to taste. In a separate bowl, beat the whites of 3 eggs with salt until stiff. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of flour, then fold in the beaten whites.
4Once the apples are cool, add the 4 egg yolks, beaten with 1/2 cup of sugar. Then, gently fold in the beaten egg whites and the 8 rolled ladyfingers, and the juice of 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the apples and bake for a few minutes to set. Serve cold.
