Ingredients
- Apples (Antonovka, Semerenko) medium size - 4 pcs.
- Sugar - 0.5 kg
- Water - 150 ml
- Agar Agar - 8 g
- Chicken egg (protein) - 1 pc.
- Icing sugar - 200 g
Step cooking
- Wash average apples of Antonovka or Semerenko variety (4 pieces) and bake in the oven or microwave. Peel the baked apples from the peel and core, and use a blender to grind in mashed potatoes. Boil the mashed potatoes on the stove until a thick consistency.
- Agar-agar (8 grams) pre-fill with water (150 ml) at room temperature and leave to swell.
- Place the swollen agar-agar on a stove and bring it almost to a boil so that it completely dissolves. Pour sugar (0.5 kg) into a container with dissolved agar-agar and mix. Boil the syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a “thick string” is formed. This means that a thick stream should drain from the scapula raised from the syrup. When the syrup reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the stove and let cool slightly.
- While the syrup is being boiled, put applesauce in the bowl of the mixer and beat in egg white (1 piece). Beat the mass with a mixer first at low speeds, and then at maximum until a thick, lush white mass is obtained.
- Pour slightly cooled syrup with agar-agar onto the wall of the mixer bowl with a thin stream, without ceasing to whisk. When the mass increases and becomes light and airy, transfer it to a pastry bag.
- Put the marshmallows on previously prepared and necessarily covered with parchment paper surfaces. It can be grids, baking sheets, trays or a work surface.
- Leave the marshmallows to solidify at room temperature for 12 hours. After the time has passed, use a knife to carefully remove the marshmallows from parchment paper and glue the halves together. Home-made marshmallows are ready.
Decoration and serving options
Glued halves of marshmallows roll in icing sugar. Ready marshmallows can also be dipped in chocolate melted in a water bath or made from light chocolate spider webs. Serve marshmallows as a dessert for tea or coffee.

You learned how to make marshmallows at home. Green apples of sour varieties, black and red currants are best suited for it, as they are rich in pectin. It is strictly forbidden to use gelatin in the recipe; only agar agar is suitable as a thickener. At your discretion, you can add a little vanilla sugar when making syrup.
