Ingredients
- 3 whole Granny Smith apples
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 sprigs Mint sprigs (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the Granny Smith apples into small chunks.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 6 mint leaves. Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and start to break down.
Step 3
Remove the apple mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Discard the mint leaves, then transfer the apples to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Allow the puree to cool completely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Step 5
Gently fold the cooled apple puree into the whipped cream until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix to retain the light texture.
Step 6
Finely chop the remaining 4 mint leaves and gently fold them into the mixture to add a fresh minty flavor.
Step 7
Divide the Minted Apple Fool into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Garnish each serving with a sprig of mint before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Minted Apple Fool!
