This simple, tangy apple sauce takes no time to make and freezes brilliantly. Fantastic with roast pork, but also great on pancakes or latkes.
This recipe makes enough for 8–10 people to each have a small spoonful alongside a roast.
Ingredients
- 225g/8oz cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped (approx. 1 large Bramley apple)
- ½ lemon, zest only (optional)
- 2 tbsp water
- 15g/½oz butter
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Method
Put the apples in a saucepan with the lemon zest and water. Cover and cook over a low heat until they are soft and mushy. (Add an extra tablespoon water if they start to dry out.)
Take off the heat and beat in the butter and the sugar.
Allow to cool. Best served at room temperature.
Recipe tips
Use Bramley apples that will cook down to a fluffy sauce and taste as you go to get the right balance of sweet and tartness.
