Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Hands-free convenience: The Thermomix handles the cooking and stirring, letting you focus on other tasks.
- The perfect pairing for pork: Apple sauce is the perfect accompaniment to pork because its sweet and slightly tangy flavour complements the rich, savoury taste of the meat.
Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Apples - we use Granny Smith apples, but you could also use a sweeter apple 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 - we use caster sugar. See my blog post on making Caster Sugar in the Thermomix.
- Lemon juice - adds a perfect touch of tartness to balance the sweetness of apple sauce. You can omit it if you prefer, but it helps enhance the flavour.
Step by Step Instructions
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 mins/90°C/reverse/speed 1. You can serve the sauce like it is or blend it until smooth.
Top Tip
If the apple sauce appears a bit watery after cooking (though it shouldn't be), 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.
Variations
- Spice - add cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to give the apple sauce a warm, comforting flavour.
