Thermomix Apple Sauce
This easy sauce is perfect with roast pork. Put your feet up, and let the Thermomix do all the work.
Servings: 500 g
Ingredients
- 500 g Granny Smith apples, approximately 5-6 apples, see notes
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
Instructions
- Peel, core and cut the apples into quarters (or eights if they are large). Place them in the Thermomix bowl and chop for 5 sec/speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
- Add the water, lemon juice and caster sugar. Cook for 15 min/90°C/reverse/speed 1.
- Blend for 5 sec/speed 4 for a chunky sauce. Blend more for a smooth sauce, like a puree.
- Note: 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.
Notes
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.
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.
