Little savoiardi cakes with apple

Oh well, let's bake some little cakes. Not that we have kids yet, but we love to bake something on sunday for our breakfast during the week. This time I just wanted to try something simple and low in fat. The normal cakes Elke bakes calls for lot of butter, while the savoiardi base not. So, here we are ... making little muffin-shapes cakes using a the savoiardi base with some apple to make it wetter. I have to say the end result is nice with the sugary and light texture of the savoiardi and the moisture of the apple. Nice ... and not a killing calories bomb!
Serves: 12 cakes
FlexiPoints: 2.5
Suggested wine: none
Special equipment: none or maybe a kitchen robot
Ingredients:
5 separated eggs
2 little apples
150g fine sugar
120g flour
3g baking powder
1 pinch of salt
Margarine as needed
Ingredient note: Well, not a recipe note ... but for people wondering what a savoiaro is, well they are also called lady finger cookies in English (wikipedia link).
How-to:
1. Whip the egg whites until stiff. Peel and finely chop the apples.
2. Work the yolks with the sugar until a uniform pale yellow cream is obtained. Add the baking powder and keep whipping.
3. Pass the flour though a sieve. Work the flour in the egg yolks one spoon of the time so as to obtain a homogeneous batter. You might need to use a metallic (hard) whip now as the batter will be somewhat hard.
4. Fold the egg whites. Add the chopped apple and mix well still with a folding movement to avoid the batter to loose its foaminess.
5. Grease a muffin tray with some margarine. Distribute the batter and bake in an hot oven at 180C for 20’-30’.

l'aspetto è delizioso. chissà il sapore. erano soffici come i savoiardi dunque? need to try... se li facessi bislunghi e li mettessi attorno alla prossima mousse a mo' di charlotte? :-)
Verrebbero bene, infondo sono come i savoiardi con mele!!!
Si sciolgono in bocca ....
