Snow Queen's Waltz
A traditional Coerthas dessert made to celebrate the onset of winter. Uses only the finest faerie apples, soft meringue and whipped sweet cream...with a sprinkle of seasonal magic thrown in.
--------------------

6 faerie apples, sliced (dessert apple)
1 cinnamon stick, ground (cinnamon)
1 pot maple sugar (granulated sugar)
2 cans sweet cream (double cream)
3 chicken eggs, white only (eggs)

Place the faerie apples, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon and one pinch of maple sugar into a pan. Cook on a low heat until the apples soften, then pass through a sieve and allow to cool.

Whip the sweet cream into soft peaks and whisk egg whites with a pinch of maple sugar until stiff peaks are formed. Fold the sweet cream and egg whites into the apple mixture and serve straight away.

Serves four.
