Ingredients
- 900 g apples (whole weight) (600 g peeled and cored weight)
- 40 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch mixed spice
- Pinch table salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel and core 900 grams of apples, then cut them into uniform cubes. After preparation, you should have approximately 600 grams of peeled and cored apple pieces ready for cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the prepared apple cubes into a pan. Add 40 grams of caster sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of mixed spice, a pinch of table salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the pan with the apples.
- Initial Cooking: Cook the mixture over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to combine all the ingredients thoroughly and start dissolving the sugar.
- Simmer: Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan partially with a lid. Let the apples stew for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples reach your desired soft consistency.
Notes
- Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Braeburn for a balanced sweetness and structure.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to your taste and apple sweetness.
- Serve warm with yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, or as a dessert topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can add a splash of water if the pan becomes too dry during stewing.
