4 Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons gelatin
Directions:
Step 1: Cook the apples
Start by peeling and cubing the apples, then cook them with the water over medium heat until they’re completely softened.
Step 2: Puree the apples
Blend the cooked apples into a smooth puree, then add the puree to your stand mixer with the gelatin.
Step 3: Whip the mixture, and let it set
From here, patience is key. Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until it becomes thick and pale and holds stiff peaks (this took about 15 minutes in my KitchenAid). Once it gets there, spread the mixture into a lined pan and let it set in the fridge for about two hours.
Here’s What I Thought
Some online versions add honey or another sweetener, but I stuck with just apples and gelatin to keep it true to the trend. The result is lightly sweet, clean-tasting and surprisingly refreshing.
And while I wouldn’t confuse them with traditional marshmallows—the texture is spongier, less chewy, and lacking that sticky, stretchy pull—they’re genuinely fun to eat. I kept reaching for another one, trying to figure them out.
