BEV'S OWN STEWED APPLES



Bev's Own Stewed Apples image

When fall rolls around, I find I have a craving for my mom's stewed apples. She never followed a recipe, but would somehow always manage to whip up the most flavorful apples you ever tasted! In an effort to recreate my mom's stewed apples, I came up with this recipe. We would usually have this as a side dish with supper, replacing applesauce. However, it would also be delicious served as a dessert with vanilla ice cream or over gingerbread or pound cake with a little whipped cream. I hope you will enjoy it!

QUICK & EASY STEWED APPLES



Quick & Easy Stewed Apples image

If you are looking for a recipe for stewed apples then look no further! This recipe is perfect as a delicious side item or an extra sweet topping with some ice cream and it's so easy.

Provided by Cathy Yoder

Categories     Desserts     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5-6 medium size apples (Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala are great choices)
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Peel and core apples. Then slice or chop in a uniform size. The thinner they are, the more tender they'll be (and cook faster too). You should have about 7 cups of apples sliced up.
  • In a large 5 quart pot, mix together sugars and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water and heat over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to turn opaque.
  • Add butter and cinnamon, mixing well until it reaches a light boil.
  • Add apples and stir, coating apples with sugar mixture. You may be worried that the sauce is too thick, but it will thin out as apples simmer. Cover, simmer, and stir occasionally on low for about 20-30 minutes, or until apples reach desired tenderness.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm.
  • Leftovers should be stored covered securely in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For stewed apples, it's best to use a firm, tart apple that holds its shape well during cooking. Some good options include Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp apples.
  • Peel and core the apples: Before stewing the apples, you'll need to peel and core them. This can be done with a sharp knife or an apple peeler/corer.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apples from burning.
  • Add some spices: To add flavor to the stewed apples, you can add some spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add a bit of lemon zest for a citrusy flavor.
  • Simmer the apples: Stewed apples are best when they are simmered over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the apples to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve warm or cold: Stewed apples can be served warm or cold. They can be eaten on their own, used as a topping for pancakes or waffles, or added to oatmeal or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Stewed apples are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious batch of stewed apples that the whole family will enjoy.
