Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

80g caster sugar
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2 egg whites
80ml double cream
Put the apples into a pan with 60g of the sugar, add the lemon rind and juice, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring every so often until the apples are soft. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for a few minutes until the mixture is dry. Blend until smooth in a liquidiser, or with a hand blender and transfer to a bowl to cool.
Whisk the egg whites in a mixing machine with the remaining 20g of sugar until stiff. Whisk the cream separately until fairly stiff then carefully fold the cream and egg whites into the cool apple purée. Spoon into individual dishes, or one large dish and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. Shortbread fingers are delicious with this.
