Tips for the Best Baked Apple Tiramisu

To ensure that your Baked Apple Tiramisu turns out perfectly, choose apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These varieties provide a great balance of sweetness and tartness, enhancing the overall flavor of the dessert. Don’t skimp on the spices; the cinnamon adds warmth and depth, making this dessert cozy and inviting.

If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the coffee liqueur, and your dessert will still taste fantastic. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different toppings. A sprinkle of toasted nuts or a dollop of whipped cream can add texture and flavor, making this dessert even more delightful.

Ingredients

For the Apple Filling

3 medium apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Tiramisu Mixture

1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
Ladyfinger cookies, enough to layer

For Assembly

Cocoa powder for dusting
Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Assemble the dessert in individual glasses for a stunning presentation.

Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Make the Tiramisu Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Combine Coffee and Liqueur

In a shallow dish, mix the brewed coffee with coffee liqueur if using. Dip each ladyfinger into the mixture briefly, ensuring they don't get too soggy.

Layer the Ingredients

In individual glasses, layer the dipped ladyfingers, a layer of the apple filling, and then the tiramisu mixture. Repeat layers until glasses are filled, finishing with the tiramisu mixture on top.

Bake and Cool

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled glasses on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are slightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.

Serve

Dust the tops with cocoa powder and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Enjoy this delightful dessert with family and friends!

Storage and Serving Suggestions

This Baked Apple Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the best texture, cover each glass with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent them from drying out. When you’re ready to serve, simply dust with cocoa powder and drizzle with caramel sauce to enhance the presentation.

If you plan to serve this dessert at a later date, consider baking it the day before your event. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, ensuring each bite is bursting with deliciousness. You can also garnish with fresh apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon right before serving for an extra touch.

Pairing Suggestions

This delightful dessert pairs wonderfully with a variety of beverages. For a warm complement, serve it alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a spiced apple cider. If you prefer something chilled, a glass of dessert wine or a light sparkling wine can enhance the flavors beautifully, creating a balanced dining experience.

For those who enjoy a touch of decadence, pairing your Baked Apple Tiramisu with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream can take it to the next level. The creaminess of the ice cream combined with the warm, spiced apples and rich mascarpone will create an unforgettable dessert experience.
