Ingredients

• 2 large Apple (crisp variety, diced)
• 2 large Pears (ripe but firm, diced)
• 1 medium Orange (segments, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1.5 cups Red grapes (halved)
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 3 large Egg whites
• 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel (if necessary), and dice the apples and pears into small, uniform pieces. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add orange segments, halved grapes, and blueberries to the bowl with the diced apples and pears.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour this mixture over the fruit and gently toss until all the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the fruit salad into an oven-safe serving dish or individual ramekins.

Step 5

Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.

Step 6

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the meringue over the fruit salad, ensuring it covers the top completely.

Step 8

Place the dish/dishes under the broiler, watching closely, for 1-2 minutes until the meringue is lightly browned. Remove immediately to prevent burning.

Step 9

Serve the cinnamon fruit salad warm with the toasted meringue cloud for a delightful contrast of flavors and temperatures.
