Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 250 milliliters water
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons semolina
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces, ensuring they will cook evenly.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the apples become soft and start breaking down. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Using a wooden spoon or a potato masher, mash the softened apples into a coarse puree. You can also use an immersion blender if you prefer a smoother consistency.
Add the sugar, semolina, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Continue cooking the mixture over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the semolina thickens the applesauce to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the Aeblegrod cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve the Aeblegrod warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy it as a dessert, a topping for pancakes, or a standalone treat!
