Ingredients
- 500g cooking apples (such as Bramley) – Perfect for a soft, smooth texture.
- 2 tbsp caster sugar – Adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of the apples.
- 2 tbsp water – Helps soften the apples during cooking.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice – Enhances the tartness and prevents browning.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel, core, and chop the cooking apples into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Apples
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. Cover and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and breaking down.
Step 3: Sweeten the Sauce
Stir in the caster sugar and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve fully. Taste the sauce and adjust the sugar if needed.
Step 4: Blend or Mash (Optional)
For a smooth apple sauce, blend the mixture using a blender or immersion blender. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash the apples with a potato masher or fork.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the apple sauce cool to room temperature before serving. It can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature depending on your preference.
