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
- 0 whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces, ensuring they will cook evenly.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the sugar, semolina, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Continue cooking the mixture over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the semolina thickens the applesauce to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the Aeblegrod cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
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!
