Step by step recipe

Stage 1

5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put 250 g ground almonds, 240 g icing sugar and 10 g Vanilla sugar into a mixing bowl. Mix well with a whisk.

Stage 2

3 min.

Add 110 g egg white and 35 g Stewed apple (compote)...

Stage 3

3 min.

...and mix thoroughly.

Stage 4

10 min.

Place small heaps of the mixture on a non-stick baking sheet (this is important as the macaroons tend to stick).

Do not place the heaps too close together as the mixture will spread a little during cooking.

Stage 5

3 min.

If possible, spray the tops with a little water as this helps them to turn a nice golden brown as they cook.

Stage 6

25 min.

Bake for about 25 minutes, watching for colouration.: the macaroons should stay fairly pale, but with a golden brown edge.

Unstick the macaroons from the baking sheet while still hot, as this is easier, and leave to cool on a wire rack.
