What a busy week with blogging and cooking this has been for me? I had a few post this week and I hope you are enjoying them. Just love those gingerbread sugar cookies I posted this week with the tutorial on how to decorate them too!

I made a few new recipes this week and I cannot wait to share them with you. This is one of them and It was such a hit that I had to share it asap so it does not get buried in one of my pending upcoming post series.

Have I told you that Ziv is a mousse monster? Yup! He loves mousse and judging by the number of mousse recipes I have on this blog – that’s not surprising is it? He’s absolute favorite till date has got to be the Chestnut Mousse, the Blackberry Mousse and now he added this one to his favorite collection.

Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes – Pin to recipe board for later 

• Apples – Honestly you can use any apples. The granny smith have a tart taste so they help cut the sugar a bit. Most of the others are sweet and work well to enhance the flavor of the cinnamon.
• Sugar – I have used only 1/2 cup sugar which sounds less but if the apples are sweet then this amount is just right. However, before you spoon the final mixture into the dessert cups, do a taste test – if you think it’s necessary use a tablespoon of powder sugar and mix it in. Personally I’ve never had to add more sugar.
• Cornstarch – also called cornflour in some places. A must have ingredient! This is the thickening agent so cannot be omitted. If you can’t find cornstarch or cornflour the only other substitute would be arrowroot. Same amount and used exactly the same way as cornflour.
• Gelatin – I know gelatin is not vegetarian. You can use agar agar for a vegetarian option. Just dissolve the agar agar in 4 tbsp water for few minutes then heat it until dissolved and combine with the apple mixture.
• Cinnamon – Apple and cinnamon is always a perfect combination. But if you don’t like cinnamon – go ahead and substitute with your favorite such as gingerbread spice or pumpkin spice.

Sugar free/ Gluten free / Vegetarian.

• Sugar free – If you need to make this sugar free which I have often made it before. Just add 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup. My Rhea loves Maple Apple Mousse. Yup!! Taste absolutely delicious.
• Gluten free – Since we only using cornflour this is already a gluten free option.
• Vegetarian – If you substitute the gelatin with agar agar as I have mentioned above – you can make this a vegetarian apple mousse as well.
