Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Varieties that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn, will hold their shape well and provide a tart flavor to the scrapple.
  • Peel and core the apples. This will help to prevent the scrapple from becoming too mushy.
  • Grate the apples. This will help to create a more even texture in the scrapple.
  • Cook the apples until they are soft. This will help to release their natural pectin, which will help to bind the scrapple together.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Be sure to mix everything together well.
  • Cook the scrapple over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Stir the scrapple frequently. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the scrapple until it is browned and crispy. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the scrapple hot. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as eggs, bacon, or toast.
