Tips for the Best Baked Apple Tiramisu
When preparing your Baked Apple Tiramisu, selecting the right apples is crucial. Opt for varieties that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Their natural tartness will nicely balance the sweetness of the brown sugar and cinnamon. Don't hesitate to experiment with different apple varieties to find your perfect blend of flavors.
Make sure to let the baked apple mixture cool slightly before assembling your tiramisu. This will prevent the ladyfingers from becoming too soggy and ensure that they maintain their structure. Additionally, allowing the assembled tiramisu to chill for at least 30 minutes gives the flavors a chance to meld together, resulting in a more cohesive and flavorful dessert.

Instructions
Prepare the Apples
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Allow to cool slightly.

Assemble the Tiramisu
Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the cooled coffee and layer them in the bottom of individual glasses. Add a layer of the apple mixture followed by a layer of the mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with the mascarpone cream.

Serving Suggestions
For an extra touch of sophistication, consider garnishing your Baked Apple Tiramisu with a sprinkle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also add a few thin apple slices on top for a decorative flair. Pairing the dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream can create a delightful contrast in temperature and texture, enhancing the overall experience.
If you're serving this dessert at a gathering, consider providing guests with small dessert forks to make the experience feel even more special. The individual glasses not only make for a beautiful presentation but also allow guests to savor their dessert without the fuss of sharing.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Baked Apple Tiramisu can be made a day in advance, making it an ideal dessert for busy hosts. Simply prepare and assemble the individual glasses, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to deepen and marry together, making each bite even more delicious the next day.
To store leftovers, keep the individual glasses covered in the fridge for up to three days. However, it's best to avoid freezing the dessert, as the texture of the ladyfingers may become mushy upon thawing. Enjoy the freshness of this delightful treat within a few days for the best flavor and texture.
