Great for baking, topping porridge and Greek yoghurt or just spooning out of the jar…! And a great use for all those extra apples if you’ve got a tree! “/> Great for baking, topping porridge and Greek yoghurt or just spooning out of the jar…!

Ingredients:
- 2kg apples
- Cinnamon to taste (optional)
- 1.5 cups water
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the apples into small-ish cubes and place into a pan that has a lid.
- Pour the water over the apples and boil on the hob with the lid on, heating on a low-medium flame for 10 minutes. Add in the cinnamon to taste if you want it.
- Take the lid off and boil for a further 5-10 minutes, stirring intermittently.
- The apples should be soft enough to mash with a fork. Leave to cool with the lid mostly covering the top until cool.
- To puree, mix with a hand whisk/electric whisk or use a fork for a slightly less pureed version.
- Decant into jars/tupperware and store in the fridge or freezer.
Hey there, would you use eating or cooking apples to get the best taste / consistency? Think cooking might be a bit tart??
Hi Vanessa – we’ve used both! Cooking apples are great with the added cinnamon, helps with the tart-ness! Consistency wise, either are great.
