      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4 md Apples
    1/3 c  Amaretto
    1/4 c  Water
    1/2 ts Lemon zest
      1 tb Lemon juice
      1    Stick cinnamon

  Peel, core, and thinly slice apples.  In a medium saucepan, combine
  amaretto, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon.  Bring to a boil.  Add
  apples and return to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover and simmer 8-10
  minutes or until apples are just tender, stirring occasionally.
  Remove from heat; let apples stand in cooking liquid for 15 minutes.
  Remove cinnamon stick.
  
  Meanwhile, in a small mixer bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer
  until soft peaks form.  Gradually add 1 Tbsp of apple cooking liquid,
  the lemon peel, and sugar.  Beat on high speed until stiff peaks
  form. Divide apples and cooking liquid among 4 8-oz custard cups or
  ramekins. Top with meringue.  Bake at 325 degrees about 10 minutes or
  until meringue turns light brown.
