Apple pie with meringue – a worthy replacement for the usual apple pies. At the same time, its texture is amazing: friable shortcrust pastry, delicate apple filling with light vanilla aroma, crispy almonds and airy meringue. To save time, take the finished dough for the pie and bake it separate cakes, then put caramelized apples on the cakes, sprinkle with toasted almonds and cover with a meringue rack. Bake the pie so that the meringue freezes and serve with a cup чая.
