Applesauce Souffle (grain free, dairy free, GAPS-legal)

I recently saw a recipe for applesauce souffle on Hella Delicious.  It sounded so simple and good.  And something I could even manage to squeeze in while taking care of a newborn.  I tried it last night.  Rebecca helped me make it.  She loves to help make "magic eggs" (beating egg whites until stiff).  This was so easy.  And it tastes really good too.  Kind of like custardy applesauce.  I used my homeade chunky applesauce and added a little cinnamon.  Mine took longer to bake than the original recipe says.  Probably because I didn't do individual size dishes.  I split it into 2 small casserol dishes.  And they took more like 25 minutes to set.  Maybe next time I'll try individual servings.  And I think this would be really good with raisins baked in.  A very easy, very healthy, very quick side dish!  And a way to use up egg whites (since I go through so many yolks...never know what to do with the whites).  Love it.  I had the leftovers for breakfast today.  Still great.  I didn't plan for extra baking time, so my souffle was a little runny inside (not the best pics).  But it was still good.

*Edited 5/27/11 - I made these again last night in individual dishes and added raisins.  YUM!!  They turned out really well.  Almost like dessert even though it's all very healthy.  I baked them for about 35 min.  They set up much better.

Applesauce Souffle

1 cup homemade apple sauce
2 egg whites
1/4 cup honey (I used about 2 Tbsp. and it was plenty sweet.  Maybe I'll leave it out next time.)
raisins (opt)

Add honey (and raisins) to apple sauce, or if it is sweet enough leave it out. Beat egg whites until stiff and dry. Fold into apple sauce.

Put mixture in buttered baking dish (I like to use teacups). Bake 15 minutes (I do 35 min.) at 350 degrees F.

Optional - add about 2-3 pods of cardamom (seeds ground), 1 t g. cloves, 2 t cinnamon and 1 t ground ginger to your applesauce when making the above recipe.
