Tips for Perfecting Your Baked Apple Tiramisu

To achieve the best results with your Baked Apple Tiramisu, consider using apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Their natural tartness pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the dessert, enhancing the overall flavor. Additionally, be sure to let the baked apples cool slightly before adding them to the tiramisu layers; this helps maintain the integrity of the ladyfingers.

When assembling your dessert, don’t rush the layering process. Take your time to ensure each layer is evenly distributed, which will create a beautiful presentation. Lastly, chilling the assembled tiramisu is crucial for allowing the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more harmonious taste experience.

Ingredients

For the Baked Apples

4 medium apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

For the Tiramisu Layer

1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
12 ladyfingers

Gather all your ingredients before starting for a smooth preparation process.

Instructions

Bake the Apples

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the apples are tender. Let cool slightly.

Prepare the Mascarpone Filling

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu

Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee quickly and layer them in individual glasses. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by a layer of baked apples. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with the mascarpone mixture on top.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, garnished with additional baked apples if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Baked Apple Tiramisu!

Serving Suggestions

Baked Apple Tiramisu is delicious on its own, but you can elevate the presentation with a few simple garnishes. Consider topping each glass with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added richness. Fresh mint leaves can also add a pop of color and freshness, enhancing the visual appeal and flavor profile.

For an even more indulgent experience, serve your dessert alongside a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. The cold, creamy ice cream complements the warm baked apples beautifully, creating a delightful contrast that your guests will love.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, keep in mind that the ladyfingers may soften as they sit, so it’s best to enjoy the dessert fresh. To maintain optimal flavor and texture, cover each glass tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container.

If you’re preparing for a special event, consider making the baked apples ahead of time and assembling the tiramisu just before serving. This way, you can enjoy the process without the last-minute rush, ensuring that your dessert is as delightful as possible when it’s time to enjoy.
