Ingredients

For the Baked Apples

4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Tiramisu Layer

1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
8 ladyfinger cookies

For Garnish

Cocoa powder
Fresh mint leaves

These ingredients will help you create a delicious Baked Apple Tiramisu.

Instructions

Prepare the Baked Apples

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a baking dish, combine the sliced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the apples are tender. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the Tiramisu Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Set aside.

Assemble the Tiramisu

Dip the ladyfinger cookies briefly in the brewed espresso.

In individual glasses, layer the soaked ladyfingers, followed by a layer of baked apples, and then a layer of the tiramisu cream.

Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with the tiramisu cream on top.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Enjoy your delicious Baked Apple Tiramisu!

Storage Tips

To keep your Baked Apple Tiramisu fresh, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It can last up to 3 days, although the texture may soften slightly over time. If you prepare it ahead of a gathering, consider adding the cocoa powder and mint garnish just before serving to maintain their vibrant appearance.

If you find yourself with leftovers, you can also freeze the assembled tiramisu for up to a month. However, it's best to freeze the dessert without the garnish and cream layer to preserve its quality. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving, and add fresh toppings for the best results.

Variations to Try

While this recipe highlights baked apples, you can experiment with other fruits to create your own versions. Pears, peaches, or even berries can serve as delightful alternatives to the baked apples, each bringing a unique flavor profile to the dessert. Just adjust the sugar and spices according to the fruit you choose for the best results.

Additionally, for a boozy twist, consider soaking the ladyfinger cookies in flavored liqueurs like Amaretto or rum instead of coffee. This adds an extra layer of depth and richness, enhancing the overall flavor of your tiramisu.
