8 apples, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup water or apple juice
2 cloves
3/4 cup sugar
3 egg whites
2 tablespoon sugar
pinch of cream of tartar
rum
Place the apple, 1/2 cup (125ml) water or juice and cloves in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring often, until the apples are cooked. Remove from heat. Pour 3/4 cup (175ml) sugar over the apple mixture and beat vigorously until the sugar is dissolved and the apples are pureed. Allow the mixture to cool and remove the cloves. This recipe makes 3 cups applesauce. With a hand beater, beat the egg whites together with the cream of tartar and 2 tablespoon (30ml) sugar. Fold into the applesauce along with the rum. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate.
