How to Make Apple Marshmallow Dessert
Prep and Cook the Apples.
Peel and core apples.
Then chop them into pieces.
Boil (or steam) the apple pieces until they are completely soft.
Soak gelatin in a small amount of cold water and let it bloom (swell) according to the package instructions.
Add the sugar and the bloomed gelatin directly into the hot, cooked apples.
Blend everything immediately using a hand (immersion) blender until completely smooth. The heat from the apples will melt the gelatin and sugar completely.
Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer (like a KitchenAid).
Whip on high speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture turns pale, thick, and very fluffy.
Line a baking dish or container with plastic wrap (cling film). Pour the fluffy apple mixture into the dish and smooth the top.
Cover the top directly with another layer of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours until firmly set.
Remove the set marshmallow from the mold. Cut it into clean portions using a sharp knife.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What are the best apples to use?
Sour or tart varieties like Granny Smith work best because they contain more natural pectin.
- Can I make this dessert sugar-free?
Yes, you can substitute sugar with honey, stevia, or omit it completely if the apples are sweet enough.
- Why did my mixture fail to whip into a fluffy foam?
The apple puree must be hot when you start blending, and your mixer needs to run on high speed.
- How do I slice the marshmallow without it sticking to the knife?
Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth or grease it lightly with a neutral vegetable oil before cutting.
- How should I store this dessert?
Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
