Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Hands-free convenience: The Thermomix does the stirring for you, so you can get on with other things.
- The perfect pairing for pork: Apple sauce is a classic accompaniment to pork because its sweet and slightly tangy flavour complements the rich, savoury meat.
Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Apples - Granny Smith apples are ideal, but you could also use a sweeter variety like Royal Gala or Red Delicious. If using sweeter apples, omit or reduce the caster sugar - you can always add it at the end of cooking if the sauce is sour.
- Sugar - either caster sugar or regular white sugar can be used.
- Lemon juice - adds a perfect touch of tartness to balance the sweetness of apple sauce.
Variations
Spice - add cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to give the apple sauce a warm, comforting flavour.
Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Add the apples to the Thermomix bowl and chop until small.
- Add the water, lemon juice and sugar and cook for 15 min/90°C/reverse/speed 1. You can serve the sauce as is or blend it until smooth.
Recipe Tip
If the apple sauce appears a bit watery after cooking, strain it over a bowl using the simmering basket as a strainer. Then, return the sauce to the Thermomix and blend to your desired consistency.
Storage
Apple sauce can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for 7-10 days. Allow it to cool completely before storing.
Apple sauce can also be frozen for up to three months. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, leaving a little space for expansion, then thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
