1 apple 
1 tsp lemon juice
4 tsps water 
4 tsps caster sugar 
½ tsp vanilla essence
4 egg whites

1.  Prepare peach and apple by removing the skins, coring the apple and removing the seed from the peach. Chop both fruits into smaller pieces. 

2.  Place peach, apple, lemon juice and water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, covered, for 10 minutes, or until fruits are soft. 

3.  Process fruit mixture in a food blender until smooth. Return to pan, stir in 1½ teaspoons of sugar and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla essence and set aside to cool. 

4.  Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold mixture into fruit purée. Spoon resulting mixture into four lightly greased soufflé dishes. Bake at 180oC (350oF) for 12 to 15 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
