Ingredients

• 1000 g Malus domestica Borkhausen Gala ( peeled and cubed )
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
• 1 piece Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. ( juiced )
• 100 ml Mineral water

Instructions

1. Fruit preparation

   Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into even 2 cm cubes.

2. Starting the cook

   Place the apples in a sauté pan with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Pour in the mineral water.

3. Simmering

   Cook covered over medium heat. When the apples become translucent and mash without resistance under a fork, they are done.

4. Finishing

   Roughly mash with a potato masher to keep some texture or whisk for a smoother consistency.

Chef's tips

• Do not blend the apples in a food processor; use a whisk or fork to keep those small melting chunks that make the recipe so charming.
• If the apples are very tart, adjust the sugar amount at the end of cooking.

Storage

Keep for 5 days in the fridge in a sealed jar or 3 months in the freezer.
