This is the third soufflé recipe I will include. The apple soufflé is the one my daughter always ordered at the restaurant in Jerusalem that only served soufflés. Jerusalem is one of the most unique cities in the world, such a blend of the Jewish, Christian, and Arab cultures and beliefs. We loved to explore the old walled section of the city. Warning: if you are not on a tour, beware of locals offering tours. They will steer you to certain shops to buy souvenirs and are difficult to dismiss.
They are experts at the game, very personable, true "salesmen." We eventually lost our "stalker" by ducking into a Christian church that he would not enter. And then had a good laugh at our foolishness. I also have to mention that we saw the most beautiful male I have ever seen in the walled city. He was a young Jewish man in his mid-twenties rushing to Shabbat services just before sundown on Friday. He is the only person who literally and metaphorically has taken my breath away with his beauty. Tracy, the Australian woman we met on our trip and toured with since she was traveling alone, had the same reaction. She looked at me, and we were both so mesmerized by him that we stood motionless for a brief time. It is a moment in time that I will never forget and like to revisit again and again in the quiet recesses of my mind.
Jerusalem is a city of the modern and the ancient. You will see donkeys on the streets next to limousines. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and its largest city in both population and area, with a population of 747,600 residents over an area 48.3 sq miles. Located in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern tip of the Dead Sea, modern Jerusalem has grown beyond the boundaries of the Old City.
The city has a history that goes back to the 4th millennium B.C., making it one of the oldest cities in the world. Jerusalem has been the holiest city in Judaism and the spiritual center of the Jewish people since the 10th century B.C. It also contains a number of significant ancient Christian sites, and is considered the third-holiest city in Islam. Since Jerusalem plays such an important role in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it is not surprising that there are at least 1204 synagogues, 158 churches, and 73 mosques within the city.
Jerusalem has been sacred to the Jews since King David proclaimed it his capital in the 10th century B.C. Jerusalem was the site of Solomon's Temple and the Second Temple. It is mentioned in the Bible 632 times. Today, the Western Wall, a remnant of the wall surrounding the Second Temple, is a Jewish holy site. Synagogues around the world are traditionally built with the Holy Ark facing Jerusalem.
Christianity reveres Jerusalem not only for its Old Testament history but also for its significance in the life of Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Jesus was brought to Jerusalem soon after his birth and later in his life cleansed the Second Temple. The Cenacle, believed to be the site of Jesus's Last Supper, is located on Mount Zion in the same building that houses the Tomb of King David. Another prominent Christian site in Jerusalem is Golgotha, the site of the crucifixion. The Gospel of John describes it as being located outside Jerusalem, but recent archaeological evidence suggests Golgotha is a short distance from the Old City walls, within the present-day confines of the city. The land currently occupied by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is considered one of the top candidates for Golgotha and thus has been a Christian pilgrimage site for the past two thousand years.
Jerusalem is considered the third holiest city in Islam. For a time, before it was permanently switched to Mecca, the direction of prayer for Muslims was Jerusalem. The city's lasting place in Islam, however, is primarily due to Muhammad's Night Ascension c. 620 A.D. Muslims believe Muhammad was miraculously transported one night from Mecca to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, whereupon he ascended to Heaven to meet previous prophets of Islam. Muslims believe Muhammad ascended to Heaven at the site of the Dome of the Rock.
Although Jerusalem is known primarily for its religious significance, the city is also home to many artistic and cultural venues. The Israel Museum attracts nearly one million visitors a year. The 20-acre museum complex comprises several buildings featuring special exhibits and extensive collections of Judaica, archaeological findings, and Israeli and European art. The Dead Sea scrolls, discovered in the mid-twentieth century in caves near the Dead Sea, are housed here.

This particular soufllé recipe is also is a combination of a few apple soufflé recipes. Enjoy.
IRISH INDIVIDUAL APPLE SOUFFLÉS [Serves 4]
Ingredients:
4 apples, cored and peeled
½ of a vanilla bean
½ cup of powdered sugar
1 tsp. of cinnamon
1 tsp. of lemon zest
4 tbsp. of butter
3 large egg whites
1 oz. of sugar
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and peeled
1 lemon, juiced
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°. In a sauté pan over high heat and stirring frequently, cook the apples, vanilla bean, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest in the butter for about 10 minutes, or until all the liquid evaporates. Allow the apples to brown slightly and add the apple juice concentrate. Mix well. Remove from the heat and remove the vanilla bean. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the inside, and add the flavoring back to the mixture.
Butter the bottoms and sides of the soufflé dishes, paying special attention to the sides. Put into the refrigerator to cool until needed.
Pulse the mixture in a food processor until smooth. Remove and allow to cool. With a mixer, whip the egg whites together with the sugar for 2 minutes or until stiff but still moist. With a large rubber spatula fold the puréed apple mixture into the stiffened egg whites. When it has been properly folded together, divide the mixture into 4 equal parts for individual soufflés and pour portions into the 4 buttered ramekins.
In a food processor, pulse the Granny Smith apples and lemon juice 4 times. Spoon the apple mixture into the center of each ramekin.
Bake in a preheated oven for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dust with powdered sugar, if desired. To make a regular-sized soufflé, prepare the pan as you would the ramekins and pour the ingredients as directed into a full-sized soufflé mold or pan and bake for 40 minutes. Again with any soufflé, be very careful removing from oven so it does not drop. Serve immediately.
