Print Recipe
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 4 cups Peeled, cored, diced apples (1/2" or 1 cm cubes)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Sauce

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • I like to toss the apple pieces in the lemon juice as I'm cutting the apples, just to prevent them turning brown.
  • Mix the "apples" ingredients int a pot on medium-high heat, and gently stir for 15-20 minutes. The total cooking time will vary greatly depending how firm the apples are, and how soft you want the finished product.
  • Meanwhile, in another saucepan, bring 1 cup of apple juice to a boil.
  • Add the cinnamon and cornstarch, and whisk fully until incorporated.
  • Add this mixture to the cooking apples 5 minutes into the cooking process.
  • Gently stir, and let simmer until desired firmness is reached.

Notes

Oobleck - google it sometime.
It's always best to make a slurry of liquid + cornstarch before adding it to anything just to prevent clumpsÂ
