Apple Souffle

The stewed apples can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat gently before adding custard. The custard should be made fresh and the meringue must be applied and browned immediately before serving for best texture and food safety.

This dessert is best served immediately after baking. If necessary, leftovers can be covered loosely and refrigerated for up to 1 day, though the meringue will weep and soften considerably. Do not store at room temperature, as the custard base is perishable.
