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!

CARAMEL STEWED APPLES



Caramel Stewed Apples image

This recipe comes from the Manga book Kinou Nani Tabeta? or What Did You Eat Yesterday? by Fumi Yoshinaga. One of the main characters, Shiro, is a hardheaded (though hiding a soft heart within) lawyer by day, who comes home and cooks their meals every night. Use eating apples, not tart cooking apples, for this dish, since not much sugar in proportion to the apples is used. Gala, Fuji and Gravenstein work well. If you plan to use unpeeled apples, select a rosy-skinned one for the best color.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4-5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lbs crisp sweet apples (1kg)
5 -7 ounces sugar (150-200g, The more tart your apples are, the more sugar you you will need, and vice versa)
3 tablespoons butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the apples (peel them if you prefer), cut into half and core them, then cut into wedges or slices. Do this as you cook the caramel, if you're brave. Otherwise deal with the apples in advance so that you can pay full attention to the caramel.
  • Put the sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Heat the pan until the sugar starts to melt. Stir if you see clumps. The sugar will start to caramelize quickly at some point. If it looks like it's going to turn black, take the pan off the heat for a while to cool it down. Continue melting the sugar until a thick caramel is formed.
  • Tip all the sliced apples into the pan at once - be careful, the pot might spit at you when the moisture of the apples hits the caramel, and spitting caramel is very painful. Stir to combine the apple and caramel as well as you can - the caramel will stick to the bottom of the pan and your stirring spatula quite a lot, but don't worry about it. If your spatula gets too caramel-clogged, scrape it off gently with the back of a knife and plop the caramel lump back into the pot. It will melt as the apple cooks down and exudes more moisture.
  • Lower the heat to low, just high enough so that the pan is barely simmering. Put a lid on, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the apple slices are permeated with caramel color, as in the photo above. At this point add the optional butter and stir it in, though it's fine to leave it out if you wish.
  • Let cool thoroughly before packing into jars or plastic containers. Since this doesn't have the large amount of sugar that jams or preserves do, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator, where it will keep for a couple of weeks, or the freezer, where it should keep for a month or more.
  • Eat hot or cold. It's really nice on pancakes, with or without butter, as well as on oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, or on its own. In the manga they lightly toast some bread, pile the apple on top with a pat of butter, and toast it again in a toaster oven.

Choonth Wangan - Stewed Apples and Eggplant image

What a cool combo! Eggplant and apple!?! Mark Bittman says "The apples and eggplant complement each other perfectly, to the point where each loses a bit of its identity and gains something unusual." Sound fascinating!! From Mark Bittman's The Best Recipes in the World.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 c corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
1 lb eggplant, preferably the small lavender kind, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb granny smith or other tart, crisp aples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths
1/2 c tamarind paste
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 Tbsp ginger, peeled and minced
1 tsp cardamom, ground
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
pinch cloves, ground
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp asafetida, optional
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
cilantro, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Put the oil in a large skillet, preferable nonstick, over medium heat. A minute later, add the eggplant and apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant and apples are both quite tender, 15 to 20 minute.
  • 2. Gently stir in all the remaining ingredients except the cilantro, along with 1/2 cup water; adjust the heat so the mixture simmers.
  • 3. Cook, stirring gently, until the mixture is thick. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then garnish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For stewing, use firm apples that hold their shape well. Good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples: This is the most time-consuming part of making stewed apples, but it's worth it. Peeling and coring the apples ensures that the finished dish has a smooth, consistent texture.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices when making stewed apples. Common choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add citrus zest or a splash of vanilla extract for a more complex flavor.
  • Cook the apples slowly: Stewing apples is a low-and-slow process. Cook the apples over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are tender and beginning to break down.
  • Serve stewed apples warm or cold: Stewed apples can be served warm or cold. They are delicious on their own, or they can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal.

Conclusion:

Stewed apples are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With so many different ways to make stewed apples, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
