The Fall with it’s fresh, locally grown apples is the perfect time to enjoy this pavlova recipe. It’s a nice alternative to the classic apple pie with a lattice crust and our mom’s scrumptious apple pita dessert. Although if you enjoy caramalized apples, you should definitely try this granola dipped caramel apple recipe.

Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert, made from slow-baked egg whites and powdered sugar mixture. The egg whites take on a crispy texture on the outside but are left soft and gooey on the inside; whereas meringue on it’s own is crispy and dry throughout.
