A cozy twist on the Italian classic — this Apple Pie Tiramisu layers tender cinnamon apples, fluffy mascarpone cream, and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, topped with crunchy walnuts and a drizzle of caramel.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Apple Pie Layer:
  • 3 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Mascarpone Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Assembly:
  • 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add diced apples. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 10–12 minutes, until apples are tender and caramelized. Let cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, beat mascarpone with vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream to create a light mousse.
  4. Dip ladyfingers quickly in coffee and layer in an 8×8 inch dish. Top with half the mascarpone mixture and half of the cooled apples.
  5. Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone cream, and apples.
  6. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped walnuts and drizzle generously with caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness.
  • Do not oversoak ladyfingers in coffee to avoid sogginess.
  • Chill overnight for best texture and flavor integration.
  • Omit walnuts for a nut-free version.
