  • if non-acidic fruits are used in recipes, then be sure to additionally boil the prepared mashed potatoes from baked apples until thick. Or add a thickener to the apple mass;
  • You can also prepare marshmallow from apple cake, which remained after the preparation of juices. To do this, boil extracts with the addition of water and granulated sugar until thick, and the resulting mass is dried in any convenient way: in the oven, in an electric dryer or in the open air;
  • apples need to be baked with whole fruits, since apple slices darken quickly, and the pastille will acquire not a light, but a dark shade;

For those with a sweet tooth, the transition to proper nutrition is especially difficult, since it is difficult to find useful delicacies in stores: some dangerous "ingredient" will break the harmonious composition. Professionals advise lovers of sweets to figure out how to make marshmallow at home, and to ease the complexity of the right diet for themselves with this step.

How to make apple marshmallow at home

One of the most famous factories that produced such a delicacy was and remains Belevskaya: apple marshmallow, which was prepared according to an old technology, was delivered even to Europe. To this day, this technology is an unspoken quality standard. Such an apple marshmallow is a full-fledged dessert, similar to a small cake. Several of its features:

  • The most dietary homemade marshmallow is dark, thin, dense. This dessert is dried in the sun, so it can only be prepared in summer.
  • An airy dessert, familiar to most from factory sweets, is a protein one: sweeter and more difficult to prepare, but you can start creating it at any time of the year.
  • If your oven has a minimum temperature of 100 degrees, it is better not to use it - the treat will burn out.
  • The owners of the fruit dryer are very lucky - they can prepare the traditional "clean" apple cider marshmallow: it will be dried in a day.
  • The fruit saucepan must not be enameled, otherwise the food will burn.
  • If you intend to cook protein pastille from apples with heat treatment, keep in mind that the product will greatly decrease in size, losing moisture. Make a thick layer (1-1.5 cm), otherwise the pastille will simply dry out.
  • Traditional apple candy at home for drying in the open air is laid out in a layer of 5-6 mm.

Apple pastila in a slow cooker

The recipe is slightly different from the classic one with an additional ingredient in the form of nuts - it is best to use pine nuts. The calorie content of such a marshmallow increases, but with moderate use, the dessert continues to be considered dietary. If you are worried about your figure, remove the nuts from the list of ingredients: this will not affect the consistency of the working mass.

The composition of the product:

  • green apples - 1.5 kg;
  • sugar - 300 g;
  • nuts - 75 g;
  • lemon juice - 1/5 cup.

How to cook marshmallow at home using a multicooker? Proceed like this:

  1. Chop the washed and cut apples with the middle liquidated, pour into a blender, scroll until puree.
  2. Drain the mass into a slow cooker, add sugar, mix. Close the lid, set the cooking mode.
  3. After an hour, add lemon juice, crushed nut kernels. Stir again.
  4. If the mass is too liquid, cook it for another half hour.
  5. When the excess water evaporates, spread the thick puree over the paper, smoothing well. Put on the windowsill, dry for 4-5 days (depending on the climatic conditions of the room).

Pastila in the oven

The fastest way to get a delicious natural treat that you can use the previous recipe for by changing only the last steps of the work. After the apples have been steamed and mashed, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Pour the thick puree, spread with a spatula. Approximate thickness is 7 mm.
  3. Dry at 50 degrees for 6 hours, check: if the sheet comes off the parchment easily, you can remove the marshmallow. If not, continue drying.
  4. Cut the finished delicacy into strips, twist into tubes, remove.

How to cook marshmallow outdoors

It is recommended to use this recipe in the summer, when the sun is very active. The composition of the classic marshmallow consists only of apples, so the list of ingredients is not given: only the technology of cooking at home deserves attention. The calorie content of such a marshmallow is equal to the calorie content of apples: remember the original volume of the product, weigh the output, and calculate the moisture loss.

Traditional pastille preparation technology:

  1. Wash the apples, peel, cut into several pieces, focusing on the size of the fruit: large by 8, small by 3-4.
  2. Fold the slices in a saucepan with thick walls. Pour in boiled water to make a layer 1-1.5 cm thick.
  3. Cook the apples until they are soft: large apples will cook for about two hours, small apples can be reached in half an hour.
  4. Allow the puree to lose some of the moisture without a lid for another quarter of an hour, strain the rest through a sieve. The thick mass that has gathered in it is the basis of the marshmallow. It should be laid out on a baking sheet with parchment in a very dense layer, exposed to the sun.
  5. It will take 3-5 days to dry using this technology; at night, the marshmallow is brought into the house. After that, you need to turn it over and hold it for a few more hours under the sun's rays.

How to make sugar-free marshmallow from apples

In addition to the previous traditional recipe, there are ways to do without the most harmful sweetener, replacing it with a more natural one. Professionals suggest using liquid honey: floral or buckwheat honey is ideal. The set of ingredients for such a marshmallow at home is simple:

  • ground cinnamon;
  • apples.

Cooking principle:

  1. The volume of each ingredient is not specified on purpose, since it is selected individually: the main product is apples. Honey and cinnamon are only responsible for the taste.
  2. Wash, peel, cut the main fruit. Simmer until soft in a saucepan.
  3. Grind with a grater or do it with a blender, add warmed honey, cinnamon. Mix carefully.
  4. Distribute the puree on the tray, send to the dryer for 10-12 hours. After taking out in the sun, cook for several more days in the air.

Homemade marshmallow with egg white

An old recipe of the Belevskaya manufactory, which can be used by any hostess. A simple composition, a short algorithm of actions - such an apple marshmallow at home is prepared for 6-7 hours and requires accuracy when working with each product. A natural delicacy can be stored for a long time if it is hermetically sealed, but the candy is so tasty that it is eaten faster than it can get into the refrigerator.

For Belevsky homemade dessert you will need:

  • unsweetened apples (preferably Antonov's) - 2 kg;

  2. Cool the baked fruit, chop with a blender, then rub through a colander with very fine cells: the mass should be like a puree for a baby.
  3. Pour in half of the sugar, beat with a mixer until the color changes and the volume of the apple mass increases.
  4. Break the eggs into a dry (important!) Bowl, remove the yolks. Beat the whites, gently adding the rest of the sugar with teaspoons. When they take the form of a thick dense foam, you can move on to a new step.
  5. Separate about 3 scooped scoops of whipped egg white, add the rest in small portions to the applesauce.
  6. Cover teflon baking trays of the same size (preferably small) with paper, making sides about 2.5-3 cm. Pour a layer of puree to this height, carefully level with a wooden spatula. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  7. Dry on an average oven level for 5 hours, temperature - 85-90 degrees.
  8. Cover with the previously set aside whipped egg white, lay the marshmallows on top of each other, dry for another couple of hours.
  9. Turn over, hold in the oven for an hour, remove. Cool, divide into portions.

This delicate delicacy, familiar from childhood, has won the hearts of sweet tooths all over the world. The ancestors of marshmallows and marshmallows, more reminiscent of meringue in their composition, appeared in antiquity in Southeast Asia. Their main ingredients were whipped egg whites and granulated sugar. Then the resulting viscous mass was dried in the sun or baked in an oven. Some chefs decorated the sweetness with pieces of fruit, others added nuts to it.

Recipes for oriental sweets, along with merchants, migrated to Europe. In each country they were improved in their own way. In Russia, the process of creating a new dessert also interested confectioners, because Russian people have always loved delicious food. Ambrose Prokhorov is considered the creator of the apple marshmallow recipe, which is now present on every counter. We will also consider how apple marshmallows are prepared at home.

There was a legend in the Prokhorov family that their great-grandfather got rich in Peter's times selling bast and bought land along the Oka. In his domain, he planted a huge apple orchard, which bore fruit perfectly.

Once the family of the descendant of the first owner of the orchard received a rich harvest of apples and baked some of them. Delicious cooked fruits were also impossible to finish, and Ambrose Prokhorov suggested trying to beat them with whites and dry them. The apples were so sweet that little sugar was added to the mass.

The marshmallow dried in a Russian oven was named Belevskaya, after the lands near the Oka. Two years later, the delicacy won the first medal at the St. Petersburg gardening exhibition. The newspapers glorified the healthy sweetness, and the Prokhorovs were proud of both the head of the family and the garden that had become famous.

There were no more apples left, since they all went to the preparation of Belevskaya marshmallow. Ambrose opened stores in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia.

Nowadays marshmallow is also made according to his recipe in Kolomna, where the Museum of Marshmallows is opened in an old wooden estate. The delicacy is quite dense, it needs to be cut with a knife, but it is as tasty and natural as at the end of the 19th century.

Most popular recipes

Making apple marshmallows at home is quite simple. It requires few products, but the appearance and taste of the dessert directly depend on their quality.

Prokhorov's contemporary and competitor, merchant A.I. Aprikosov, forced his workers to use only the ripe fruits without the slightest flaw. For the sake of high quality sweets, he planted his own orchards, and workers picked pears, apples and berries in them.

There are several recipes for marshmallows from Russia, the East and Southern Europe. You can try several options to find the one that best suits the tastes of family and friends.

This type of marshmallow is prepared with a minimum amount of sugar. The main ingredient in it is apples. It will require:

  • 2 kg of sweet and sour apples;
  • 100 g granulated sugar;
  • 1 egg;
  • 10 g icing sugar.

The cooking procedure is as follows.

  1. Wash the apples, dry them and cut off the flawed skin. Remove the twig and the skin underneath. Arrange the apples on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake apples until they are completely softened.
  2. After cooling the apples, grind them through a sieve to separate the grains and skins from the puree. Beat the finished puree for 10 minutes. with a half share of granulated sugar.
  3. Beat the egg white with the remaining half of the sugar until a dense mass is formed.
  4. Combine the puree and the protein-sugar mixture and beat for a few more minutes until smooth. When ready, separate a small part (a few tablespoons) of the mass and put it in the refrigerator.
  5. Preheat the oven to 60-70 degrees. On a baking sheet covered with baking paper, alternately lay out the cakes, up to 1.5 cm thick. Dry them in a slightly open oven for 5 hours. After the toothpick remains dry when pierced, remove and cool.
  6. Smear the cakes with the whipped mass separated at the beginning and put one on top of the other. Ideally, the pastille should be 3-4 layers. After that, return it to the oven and bake at the same temperature for about an hour. Sprinkle the cooled top and bottom cakes with icing sugar and cut the marshmallow into portions.

Sugarless

The recipe can be made healthier by not adding granulated sugar. In this case, you will also need juicy and dense, but very sweet apples. For an additional flavor of the marshmallow, a pinch of vanillin or cinnamon is added to the whipped mass.

Lovers of originality use food coloring to give the cakes different shades.

Kolomenskaya with sugar

Kolomenskaya marshmallow is looser and sweeter than Belevskaya. Sugar for it will require several times more, and less apples. Due to this, the cake will be airy. Products composition:

  • 800 g of juicy sour apples;
  • 170 g granulated sugar;
  • 1 egg;
  • 10 g icing sugar.
  1. Wash the apples, dry them and cut out the spoiled pieces. Bake them in the oven at 180 degrees until soft. Having freed them from the core and skin with a fork and a knife or rubbed through a sieve, beat the pulp in mashed potatoes. Its weight should be 500 g.

  3. Pour protein into it and 10 minutes. beat the mixture with a mixer until a dense white substance is obtained. Separate several tablespoons of the mass at once and put in the refrigerator.
  4. Pour the remaining mixture onto a baking sheet covered with baking paper and dry for 5-6 hours in a slightly open oven at 60-70 degrees. As soon as the cake turns golden and stops sticking to your hands, remove it from the oven and put it on the table to cool.
  5. After cooling completely with a sharp knife, carefully cut the cake into 3 parts (it is very loose). Spread each mixture from the refrigerator, including both sides of the top cake and sides. Put the resulting semi-finished product in the oven again and dry for another hour at 60 degrees.
  6. Sprinkle all sides of the finished cooled marshmallow with powdered sugar and cut into narrow high strips.

This type of marshmallow is a roll of tough thin cakes. Egg white is not included in their composition, but even with it, honey would still not allow the cakes to become airy.

Products composition:

  • 1 kg of apples;
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of honey;
  • 100 ml of water;
  • a pinch of cinnamon.

The cooking procedure is as follows.

  1. Peel and seed apples, cut into thin slices. Put them in a saucepan, pour 100 ml of water and bake in the oven at 160 degrees until soft.
  2. Beat the finished apples in mashed potatoes and put it on the stove over low heat to boil until golden brown. When ready, beat it again with a mixer.
  3. In the process of whipping, pour honey into it and add cinnamon. Put the mass in a thin layer on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
  4. Dry the cakes with a slightly open oven for 2-3 hours. The warm cake will be soft, then it will harden, so cut it into squares and twist the rolls without letting it cool completely.

Outdoors

The same procedure can be done without an oven. The marshmallow will also dry in the sun in 4-5 days, but you need to protect it from flies and wasps by covering it with gauze. At night, the treat should be brought into the house.

With walnuts

In the East, nuts are added to many sweets. Thus, the chef makes their taste more exquisite. Pastila was no exception.

It will require:

  • 2 kg of apples;
  • 150 g granulated sugar;
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 100 ml of water.

The preparation procedure is as follows.

  1. Peel the apples, cut into small slices, add water and bake in the oven until soft. Then beat them in mashed potatoes and boil on the stove until browning.
  2. Finely chop the walnut kernels. Pour them and granulated sugar in mashed potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes.
  3. Put the prepared mass on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and dry in a slightly open oven over low heat for 6-8 hours. The thickness of the future cake should not exceed 1.5 cm, otherwise it will dry longer.
  4. Cut the finished marshmallow into strips and, if desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

With agar agar

Pastila made on the basis of agar-agar is similar to marshmallows. It turns out to be more elastic than on the basis of whipped protein.

It will require:

  • 1 kg of apples;
  • 400 g granulated sugar;
  • 1 egg;
  • 4 g agar agar;
  • 60 ml of water.

The cooking procedure is as follows.

  1. Puree the apples and beat with a mixer. In the process, add 250 g of sugar. Pour protein into the cooled homogeneous mass and beat for 10 minutes.
  2. Dissolve agar in water. Add 150 g of sugar and 1 min. boil over a fire. As soon as it cools a little, pour it into the whipped mixture and continue beating with a mixer for a couple of minutes. At the same time, it is important to observe one condition: do not allow the syrup to cool completely, but also do not brew protein with it.
  3. Pour the finished mass into a mold and leave to harden at room temperature for several hours.

With banana

Banana is very sweet, so no sugar is added to it. Its structure is quite airy, and there is no need for protein either. Beat 2-3 bananas well with a mixer, add applesauce and put the mass on a baking sheet covered with foil or baking paper.

The banana pastila dries for about 8 hours and turns dark brown.

Homemade apple marshmallow should be wrapped in paper and put in a bag. This well-baked product can be stored in the refrigerator for several months, but it is unlikely that it will remain intact until that time. The treat is too tasty for family members to forget.

The baking paper from the finished marshmallow cake will not come off easily if it is not moistened with water for a few minutes. Only after that it will not have to be peeled off, and the surface of the cake will remain smooth.

For the preparation of the dessert, apples should be carefully selected. If their pulp is cottony, the dessert will fail. Only dense juicy pulp will give the crust mass the necessary viscosity, and the finished pastille will give a rich taste.

Conclusion

Homemade apple marshmallow will make a special impression on children. Adults will also love that the dessert, usually bought in the store, is made at home. Knowing several recipes, you can choose the right one and adjust the amount of sugar. Someone tries to avoid it, while others have nothing against airy sugary sweet marshmallow cakes.

The photo shows how delicious they are. A natural delicacy does not require additional decorations, but when the marshmallow is served at the festive table, it is permissible to come up with a sprinkling of small multi-colored dots or sugar flowers.

You can add food coloring to some of the mass left for greasing the cakes and, without cutting the marshmallow, turn it into a bright scarlet cake. For each event, it is worth choosing a special decor for sprinkling. There will be plenty of time for this, since the marshmallow dries in the oven for a very long time, but its delicate taste will surpass all expectations.

If a thin pastila is being prepared for long-term storage, then the sheets must be thoroughly dried. Otherwise, mold may develop in them.

If the marshmallow is dried in the oven. Then the door must be opened. Otherwise, moisture will not come out, and the process will drag on for a long time.

The pastille turns out to be softer if the fruit is wiped through a sieve, and the skins are thrown away. But on the other hand, it hardens faster if you prepare a delicacy with a peel.

If the candy is dried naturally, then you can spread the prepared mass on sheets of cellophane. The layers are easily removed from them.

Interestingly, many did not even suspect that snow-white marshmallows and marshmallows are made from apples. Indeed, there is not enough apple flavor - everything is clogged with a huge amount of sugar. Meanwhile, there are a number of old recipes with a completely different taste, albeit with a similar technology. In most of them, apple marshmallow is prepared in a similar way: mashed baked apples with sugar and egg white are whipped and dried in an oven at a temperature of 70-100C, then the dried layers are stacked on top of each other - and you're done! So that such pastel bars do not fall apart, they are glued together with a pastel mass set aside in advance, and in order to look beautiful, they are coated with it, baked and rubbed with powdered sugar. This pastila is amazingly fragrant, viscous and elastic at the same time, in general, wonderful!
Such a plan is a marshmallow from Kolomna and from Belyov, old Russian "apple" cities. In Kolomna there is even a marshmallow museum, and in Belyov this marshmallow is made and sold by local grandmothers. After looking for recipes on the Internet, I realized that they were all poured from one barrel of one bucket of apples. That is, more precisely, the recipe is the same for everyone.
Therefore, I just opened the book of the unforgettable Molokhovets, in which there are several recipes for such a marshmallow. Molokhovets suggests making marshmallow from green, unripe apples, I don’t know why. But I know that in Belyov marshmallow is made from ripe Antonovka. Why Antonovka? Because it is baked Antonovka that gives mashed potatoes with a high pectin content, which makes it possible to make an excellent marshmallow. In addition, a sour taste is what you need for such products.
Elena Molokhovets's recipe is simple and unpretentious: for two glasses of applesauce - a glass of sugar and 2-3 proteins. I used the following proportion: for 500 g of mashed potatoes (and 100 g of mashed potatoes are obtained from one baked apple) - 2/3 cups of sugar and 1 protein.
The main difficulty in cooking is that it is necessary to maintain a low temperature in the oven (70-100C) for a long time (5-8 hours). This can be achieved by cooking with the door ajar.
What else? It is better to bake the apples whole, the puree will not oxidize and it will turn out light.

500g baked Antonovka apple puree
170g sugar
1 protein
powdered sugar

tray size 20x30cm

Bake the apples until completely soft, spoon out the pulp and mash (using a blender or rub through a sieve).

Add sugar to warm puree, stir.

Cool, cold mashed potatoes are whipped better. Add the egg white and start whisking.

It takes me 5-7 minutes to get a white fluffy mass (it will definitely increase 2-3 times).

Put the mixture in a baking sheet lined with parchment (set aside the glass for spreading). Thickness - 3 cm.

Dry for 5-8 hours at 70C. I dried for 3 hours at 100C, turned it over and another 2 hours at 100C.

Remove paper. If the paper is not removed well, Molokhovets advises keeping it in the closet for a couple of days. But you can just moisten it with water and the paper will come off.

Cut into equal strips with a knife. I get three stripes. Smear them with deferred mass.

Fold on top of each other and brush on the outside with it. Dry for a couple more hours in the oven.

Take out, rub in the icing sugar, it will be beautiful.

Here is such a marshmallow! Slice with tea, milk or cheese!

By the way, if you dry it at a lower temperature, the marshmallow will be lighter. I got a lighter one, but this one tastes better, it seems to me!
