Easy Peasy Apple Sauce
Description
The recipe calls for peeling, coring, and chopping a Bramley apple, known for its tartness and cooking qualities, which breaks down into a smooth puree when simmered with cold water over medium-low heat. The covered cooking method steams and softens the apple pieces evenly. After about 10 minutes, stirring breaks up any remaining lumps to create a consistent apple sauce.
The final sauce showcases the apple's natural tart flavor since no sugar is added. For those who prefer sweetness, either sweeter apple varieties like Gala or added sugar can be incorporated during cooking to dissolve evenly. The sauce can be served as a condiment, snack, or in cooking.
This apple sauce is suitable for freezing to extend shelf life. It provides a fresh, no-additive alternative to store-bought sauces, retaining the distinctive tang and aroma of Bramley apples.
Ingredients
- 1 Bramley apple see note 1
- 100 ml water cold
Instructions
- Peel and core the apple. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the chopped apple and water in a small saucepan. Cover with a lid and cook over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes until the apple breaks down into a puree.
- Stir to break down any remaining lumps, then transfer to a serving dish.
Notes
- Bramley apples give the best tartness and texture but other apples can be used depending on taste preference.
- Add sugar at the start of cooking if you prefer a sweeter sauce; sugar helps dissolve evenly during cooking.
- This apple sauce can be frozen for later use.
