A simple yet essential Austrian side dish, Apfelmus is a smooth, comforting apple sauce often served with savory dishes like potato pancakes or roasted meats. This version focuses on a balanced sweetness and a hint of cinnamon, making it a versatile accompaniment.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1.5 kg Apples(A mix of sweet and tart varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
- 100 ml Water
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar(Adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into roughly 1-inch chunks.

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Stir to distribute the lemon juice, which helps prevent browning.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are very soft. Stir occasionally.
