Classic Belyovskaya marshmallow in the oven

This recipe only requires two ingredients. Belevskaya marshmallow is prepared from one hundred grams of sugar and a kilogram of green apples. The sweetness of the delicacy directly depends on the type of fruit chosen. Compared to red ones, yellowish and green apples will taste more sour. Therefore, whether to add sugar is a matter of personal preference.

So, first you should start preparing the products. Cut the apples into quarters or thin slices. Be sure to remove the core, and remove the peel if desired. Since the fruit will be baked, both the inside and outside will be absolutely soft.

Place the chopped apples on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven for about forty minutes. The temperature in the cabinet should reach 180-200 degrees. The warmer the oven is, the faster the fruit will cook. Therefore, this moment needs to be monitored. When the apples are baked, they will turn brown and will release juice. If you pierce the fruit with a knife, you can feel its soft texture. To avoid pre-greasing the baking sheet, you can put parchment paper.

Ready-made apples for classic Belev marshmallow must be judged and then chopped in a blender. The result should be an almost homogeneous paste. Transfer this mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. From now on you should be patient. The pastille will bake in the oven for quite a long time - at least 2.5 hours (at a temperature of 80-100 degrees). It is important to prevent it from drying out. After about 1.5-2 hours, the dessert will acquire a darker color, and the top will harden a little and dry out. This means that the delicacy is almost ready; you still need to keep it in the oven for literally half an hour.

After this you need to roll out the apple “dough”. Its thickness can be from one to four centimeters. Do it at your own discretion. Some people like thin pieces, while others like thicker ones. Cut the marshmallow into squares or roll it into rolls. Now you can enjoy dessert!

Apple marshmallow, Belyovskaya

marshmallow
This very tasty, delicate dessert, along with Tula gingerbread, is known and popular far beyond the borders of our Tula province. Back in 1890, Belev marshmallow, produced by the merchant A. Prokhorov, won first prize at a horticulture exhibition in St. Petersburg. This dessert was bought with pleasure even in Parisian confectioneries of that time. In France, pastille was served with champagne and white wine, and in Russia with milk, tea, and even mead.

Of course, you can now buy this delicious delicacy in our stores without any problems, but I always really wanted to try making marshmallows myself. I had to tinker a little, but believe me, it’s very tasty!!!

To prepare real Belev marshmallow, Antonov apples have always been used, since they contain a high content of dry substances. Well, you say, this should have been prepared in the fall in season... And you will be absolutely right! But somehow there was no time in the fall, and there are still a lot of apples in the basement after a bountiful harvest. I made both apple marmalade and pie filling - it was time for marshmallows.

So, to prepare Belyov apple marshmallow, we need very few ingredients.

Dry the marshmallow for about 6-8 hours. But I advise you to keep the process under control. Its readiness will be determined by the fact that when pressure is applied, the layer will spring back. It will dry completely. After 4 hours, you can turn the layer over to the other side.

9. After the marshmallow has completely dried, remove the paper, if necessary, wetting it a little if it doesn’t come off well. paste
