Ingredients
Makes about 10 servings
Step 1
Core the apples and fill each with a teaspoon of brown sugar. Place in a baking pan and cover the bottom with 1/8-inch of water.
Step 2
Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until tender. Combine the sherry or Madeira, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice berries, cinnamon, sugar and water in a large, heavy saucepan and heat without letting the mixture come to a boil. Leave on very low heat. Beat the egg yolks until light and lemon-colored. Beat the whites until stiff and fold them into the yolks. Strain the wine mixture and add gradually to the eggs, stirring constantly. Add the brandy. Pour into a metal punch bowl, float the apples on top and serve in 8-ounce mugs.
If there is a problem with eggs in your region, do not prepare this recipe.

Back to TopWe made this for a neighborhood holiday party omitting the eggs and it was the HIT of the party. Easy to drink but warn your guests that it is high octane. We were glad that guests could walk home.

OH HOLY NIGHT! This recipe will knock your socks off! I brought it to work for my Christmas party and I'd never seen my coworkers so merry. I left out the egg too. I tried a small batch with the egg and it really doesn't look very appealing.

We've made this at our holiday party for the past two years. Our guests love it---it's perfect for the holidays. We also omitted the eggs---it's great without it.

I made a big batch, bottled it, and gave it as stocking stuffers. People loved it.

High-octane holiday party beverage. My friends ask for this EVERY year - and it's always the first thing to go. I omit the eggs - I've made it both ways - the frothed up eggs don't help the presentation at all. Looks like pondscum. Definitely not a holiday drink for the lightweight - but VERY well received.
