You can conjure up many delicious treats from apples. Some require steaming. We explain how this works here.
Some apple pie recipes in particular state that the apples should be steamed before baking. Why actually? Especially with very hard apples, such as the Boskop, steaming ensures that they are sufficiently soft after baking. In addition, the minerals and vitamins are retained. This not only applies to apples, but also to carrots, onions and other types of fruit and vegetables.
We'll now tell you how to properly steam apples and what you need.
Steaming apples made easy
To stew your apples you will need:
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 dash of water
- some apple juice
- Juice 1/2 Lemon
- Casserole with lid
- Knife
- Bowl or Bowl
Preparation
➣ Step 1: Peel and cut the apple
Remove the skin and core from the apples. Then cut into small pieces and sprinkle with a little lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from turning brown.
➣ Step 2: Cook Apples
Melt the sugar and butter in a saucepan. Then add the apples and pour in a dash of water or apple juice.
Now you need to close the lid and cook until the apples have a soft consistency.
Now the apples are ready for further preparation.
