Pre-cut the apples into halves, remove the seeds from them. It takes 4-5 minutes to bake fruits in the oven.
After the time has passed, remove the baked apples from the oven and use a teaspoon to separate the pulp from the skin. Grind the apple pulp in a blender until puree or rub the fruit through a sieve. Add 250 grams of granulated sugar and vanilla sugar to warm fruit puree, leave the ingredients for about 1 hour until they cool completely.
Put the prepared agar-agar on low heat and bring to a boil, the powder should completely dissolve. Pour in the remaining granulated sugar. While stirring constantly, simmer the syrup over medium heat for five minutes.
Meanwhile, add half the egg white into the applesauce and beat until lightened, then add the other half of the protein and beat until fluffy. In a thin stream, start pouring in the slightly cooled, but still hot syrup. Beat for a couple more minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag, form the marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave the dessert in a warm enough place overnight. You can sprinkle the marshmallows with powdered sugar before serving.
