- 2Wash the apple parings and simmer them in a small amount of water for 30 minutes. Strain the juice from the parings, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and return to the heat. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Add a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of nutmeg. Cool.
- 3Beat the egg white until stiff. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue beating until glossy. Lightly coat the tops of the apples with the meringue.
- 4Place the meringue-topped apples in a cool oven (about 200°F / 93°C) to dry the meringue. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a broiler on low heat, watching carefully to prevent burning.
