Preparation

Step 1

Wash the apples, peel and core them.

Step 2

Cut the apples into small pieces.

Step 3

Microwave the apples for 5-7 minutes to soften. Then puree them with a blender.

Step 4

Beat the applesauce with a mixer.

Step 5

Separately, beat 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form. It's important to use only dry bowls, otherwise the whites may not whip properly.

Step 6

Combine the two mixtures and mix everything with a spatula until smooth.

Step 7

Spread the apple mixture into a baking dish, making sure the layer is no more than 4 cm thick. Bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees Celsius, for 6 hours.

Step 8

Take out the pastila and cut it into 4 pieces. Beat 1 egg white and brush it over 2 pieces of pastila. Cover them with the remaining pieces of pastila.

Step 9

Place the treat in a preheated oven at 90 degrees Celsius for 4 hours. Then remove the airy pastila, let it cool, and serve with tea.

Apple pastila can be made in more than just the oven. Using specialized equipment, such as dehydrators and electric dryers, significantly simplifies the process. While these increase the cooking time, they help preserve more of the dessert's nutrients.

Storing Belevskaya pastila

Unlike apples, which contain natural moisture, applesauce marshmallows have a much longer shelf life—weeks and even months. To enjoy this dessert even in winter, you need to:

  • Choose a dry place for storage where moisture, including steam, does not penetrate.
  • The optimal storage temperature for homemade pastila is 14-15 degrees Celsius. It's important to keep it out of direct sunlight, as it can dry out. Therefore, I recommend storing this treat in a dark, well-ventilated area, such as a pantry or cellar.
  • Avoid storing pastila in the refrigerator, as it can absorb excess odors, develop a thin film, and become stickier.

If you want to preserve pastila for the longest possible time, I recommend doing so in the freezer. Freezing it preserves its appearance and flavor for up to a year. Defrost it gradually, first placing it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, and then leaving it to thaw at room temperature.

Advice
To make sugar-free pastila, I recommend using sweet apples. Ideal varieties include "Champion," "Gala," or "Golden."

Prepare marshmallow from apples at home Absolutely anyone can do it. You don't need any special culinary skills. All you need is a loving approach. And then even the most complex dessert will surely turn out well!

    Hello, if I put the pastila in the oven at 180 degrees for 6 hours, I'll get charcoal. Is there an error here?

    Answer
  • Tatiana

    I made pastila according to your recipe and kept it in the dehydrator for 6 hours at 60 degrees Celsius. The edges were dry, but the middle wasn't quite ready, even though I spread it out evenly. Yours turned out fluffy, but mine were flat and crumbling, even though I followed the recipe perfectly.

      Good afternoon. The outcome depends on many factors:
      • humidity of apples (amount of juice);
      • the ratio of protein to sugar in the meringue;
      • density of whipped whites;
      • individual characteristics of the dryer operation.
      Perhaps you should try making the pastila again, but using other apple varieties, achieving a denser consistency.

    Thanks for the answer, what are the best apple varieties to use?

    Answer
    • Oleg Ustinov

      The apple variety isn't as important as their juiciness. Excess liquid can make the mixture too runny after adding the whipped egg whites. It will spread and take longer to dry. You can try using less juicy apples or removing some of the juice from the applesauce. Pay attention to the consistency of the finished mixture (step 7 in the recipe).
