Lithuanian Apples in Meringue Recipe #376010
This is from the "Art of Lithuanian Cooking". It's excellent and surely has to be less caloric than apple pie. I don't know if the meringue is suppose to be spread over the whole or used to "cap" the apples, leaving them whole. I chose to quarter my apples and apply the meringue as a solid layer. Granny Smith apples worked great. No additional sugar beyond that in the meringue in necessary. .
