How to Make Fluffy Apple Pie

Perfect for a quick snack, a special breakfast, or when you’re craving an easy sweet treat. You can switch it up with spices, fruits, or nuts. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (5.3 oz / 150g)
1/2 cup sugar (3.5 oz / 100g)
1 teaspoon baking powder (0.2 oz / 5g)
2 medium apples
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
A pinch of salt
Butter, for greasing the pan
Parchment paper (optional)

Optional Extras:

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A few drops of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons extra all-purpose flour, for a firmer texture
A handful of chopped walnuts or raisins

Instructions:

First, crack the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks, but be careful not to overbeat.

Then, in another bowl, whisk the yolks together with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and fluffy.

Next, add the lemon juice and zest. If you like, you can also add a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.

After that, mix in the baking powder and flour until everything is well combined.

Soon after, gently fold in the beaten egg whites using a spatula, making slow, upward movements to preserve the batter’s volume.

Then, peel and slice the apples thinly or cut them into small cubes. Carefully mix them into the batter so the pieces don’t break apart.

Afterward, grease and flour a medium-sized glass baking dish, or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the dish.

Finally, place it in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cake is firm to the touch.

Tips and Recommendations:

Use green apples for a tart flavor or red apples for a sweeter, milder result.
If the batter seems too runny, add 2–3 tablespoons of flour without changing the taste.
For a gluten-free version, use rice flour or a certified gluten-free blend.
Adding walnuts, almonds, or raisins gives it extra texture and taste.
Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top or drizzle with a simple glaze made from sugar and lemon juice.
You can also bake this recipe in individual muffin tins for single servings.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in portions.
