Tips for Success

To achieve the best flavor in your Baked Apple Tiramisu, choose apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Their tartness balances well with the sweetness of the brown sugar and cinnamon, resulting in a delicious filling that complements the creamy mascarpone layer.

When preparing the coffee for soaking the ladyfingers, opt for a strong brew to ensure that the coffee flavor stands out in the finished dessert. Allow the coffee to cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming overly soggy. A quick dip is all you need to infuse them with flavor without compromising their structure.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious Baked Apple Tiramisu.

Prepare the Apple Filling

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, combine sliced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Bake for 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Let them cool.

Make the Tiramisu Cream

In a bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Tiramisu

Dip ladyfingers briefly in the cooled coffee and layer them in individual glasses. Add a layer of baked apples, followed by a layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with the cream layer.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with grated chocolate and apple slices.

Your Baked Apple Tiramisu is now ready to be enjoyed!

Storage and Make-Ahead

Baked Apple Tiramisu can be made ahead of time, making it an ideal choice for busy schedules. After assembling the individual glasses, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste of the dessert.

If you plan to store leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, be aware that the ladyfingers may soften further over time, so it's best enjoyed within the first couple of days for optimal texture.

Variations and Customization

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences. For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the apple filling for added crunch. Alternatively, you can incorporate different spices, like nutmeg or ginger, to give your dessert a unique flavor profile.

For a chocolate lover's version, drizzle melted chocolate over each layer or mix cocoa powder into the mascarpone cream. This will create a rich, indulgent dessert that still retains the essence of the classic tiramisu while adding an exciting twist.
