Peel and slice the apples.

Get the pan nice and hot.

Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with 3 or 4 tablespoons of caster sugar.

Add 3 slices of fresh ginger and 3 cinnamon sticks to the pan.

Cook the apples together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a little darker.

Toss the apples to achieve a nice golden color.

Add butter to the pan and gently cook until the apples soften.

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the mixture into a bowl.

Put the apple mixture in the fridge to cool.

Separate the egg whites into a bowl.

Sprinkle sugar into the egg whites and turn up the mixer speed to whip until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl, whip double cream until stiff by hand.

Add lemon zest to the whipped cream.

Sweeten the whipped cream with leftover caramelized apple puree and mix carefully.

Fold the whipped egg whites into the whipped cream gently.

Prepare piping bags for serving the dessert.
