Apple & sultana meringues

It's the season of apples! 🍎 I fancied something a bit different and as I had some egg whites left over from another recipe, I came up with this simple but yummy dessert. 

Serves 4

3 large cooking apples
1 tbsp brown sugar
Sprinkle of sultanas
2 egg whites 
110g caster sugar
Squeeze of lemon juice
Grated rind of 1/2 lemon
Sprinkle of brown sugar

1)peel, chop and core the apples and place in a pan and cover the bottom of the pan with water. Sprinkle over the brown sugar and cook gently until the apples have started to soften. Turn off the heat 
2)grease 4 ramekins and spoon in the apples evenly. Sprinkle over sultanas and stir into the apple
3)put the egg whites in a bowl and with an electric hand whisk beat until white peaks begin to form 
4)add the sugar a tbsp at a time and keep whisking until the mixture has turned white and glossy and has started to soften. Add the lemon juice and zest and beat some more. 
5)spoon he meringue over the apple and cook in a preheated oven at 160c for 30 mins until the meringue looks cooked on the top.
