One member of staff cooks up this simple recipe to give to her family at Christmas in little glass jars with a ribbon. Or, if you omit everything but the apples and water, applesauce is a great egg replacer in cakes or banana bread. Feel free to double or quadruple these quantities!
Ingredients
4cooking applespeeled cored and roughly chopped
Splash of Lemon juice
Splash of Maple syrupoptional
Pinchof cinnamon or allspice
Instructions
Place the roughly chopped apples into a saucepan with enough water to just cover them. Simmer gently stirring occasionally until the apples reduce and become mushy. Add cinnamon or mixed spice, a splash of lemon juice (and maple syrup if using). Mash with a fork or pop into a blender for a smoother consistency. Spoon into sterilised jars if you're not going to eat it all straightaway!
