Description
Fresh, sweet and slightly tart apple sauce, perfect as side-dish, but also as dessert or as filling for baked goods.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg apples
- 100 g sugar
- Optional: cinnamon; lemon juice/peel; vanilla
Instructions
- Peel, quarter and core the apples, then cut them in chunks.
- Pour a small layer of water in a pan, place the apples on top (when using lemon peel, add this now).
- Bring to the boil.
- Cover the pot and lower the heat.
- Cook 10 minutes, or until soft.
- Stir in the sugar and optional ingredients.
- Leave to cool and serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
The amount of sugar depends on the type of apples you use. The amount given is for tart apples and gives a quite sweet apple sauce. If you like it less sweet, or you have sweeter apples, use less.
You can make the apple sauce either smooth, by cooking it until all the apples disintegrate or by pushing it through a sieve, or chunky by cooking it not too long and just stir it to break it up a little.
