For the Fluffy Layer

  • Egg whites: 4 large
  • Cream of tartar: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

For the Topping

  • Powdered sugar: For dusting
  • Vanilla ice cream: Optional, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  4. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Prepare the Fluffy Layer

  1. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Fold in the vanilla extract gently and set aside.
