The warm, spiced apple filling adds a cozy touch, reminiscent of autumn evenings, while the creamy mascarpone layer delivers a luxurious texture that elevates the entire experience. This delightful combination not only satisfies the sweet tooth but also brings comfort and nostalgia with every spoonful.

The use of fresh apples, combined with cinnamon and a hint of lemon juice, creates a refreshing yet indulgent filling that balances the richness of the mascarpone. Each bite offers a burst of flavor that dances on your palate, making this dessert not just a treat but a celebration of seasonal ingredients.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you're hosting a fall gathering or seeking a cozy dessert for a quiet night in, these individual servings of Baked Apple Tiramisu are perfect for any occasion. Their charming presentation in clear glasses makes them an attractive addition to your dessert table, inviting guests to indulge in their own personal portion.

Additionally, the recipe is adaptable, allowing you to switch up the apples based on what's in season or your personal preferences. This versatility means you can enjoy this dessert throughout the year, making it a staple in your culinary repertoire.

Tips for Success

To achieve the best flavor in your apple filling, choose a mix of sweet and tart apples. Varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work beautifully together, ensuring a well-rounded taste. Don't forget to let the apple filling cool before layering it with the mascarpone cream to maintain the structure of your dessert.

When assembling the tiramisu, be cautious not to soak the ladyfingers too long in coffee. A quick dip is sufficient to impart flavor without compromising their texture. This will help maintain the balance between the creamy layers and the delightful crunch of the ladyfingers.

Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Baked Apple Tiramisu:

Prepare the Apple Filling

In a saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make the Mascarpone Mixture

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

Assemble the Tiramisu

Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee briefly, then layer them in the bottom of individual glasses. Add a layer of the apple filling followed by a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with the mascarpone layer.

Bake the Tiramisu

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled glasses on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.

Serve

Before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your delicious Baked Apple Tiramisu!

Now that your dessert is ready, it's time to dig in!

Serving Suggestions

For an extra touch of elegance, consider serving your Baked Apple Tiramisu with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. This addition will enhance the dessert's creaminess and add a beautiful contrast to the warm apple filling.

Pair your dessert with a warm cup of spiced chai or a robust cup of coffee to complement the flavors. The warmth of the beverages will enhance the cozy vibe, making for a delightful after-dinner experience.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store the Baked Apple Tiramisu in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be enjoyed for up to three days, although the flavors will continue to develop and deepen, making it even more delectable with time.

To maintain the best texture, avoid topping with cocoa powder until just before serving. This will ensure that the dessert remains visually appealing and the cocoa retains its fresh flavor.
