– 1/2 cup apple juice for the sauce
– 4 large apples with peel, cut into 1/2 inch wedges
– 3 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
– 4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
1-First, combine 2 cups of apple juice and the sliced apple wedges in a medium skillet. Simmer gently until the apples are fork tender but not mushy, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking. Once ready, remove the apples with a slotted spoon and place them in an oven-safe dish.
2-Next, in a blender, mix the remaining 1/2 cup apple juice, cornstarch, apple pie spice, and sugar until smooth. Whisk this mixture into the hot apple juice in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until it bubbles and thickens smoothly, then pour it over the apples and serve warm.
3-Prepare ingredients by slicing apples evenly.
4-Heat the skillet and add apple juice and apples.
5-Simmer and stir gently for even cooking.
6-Blend the sauce mixture separately.
7-Whisk and thicken the sauce on the stove.
8-Serve immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
🍏 Use Granny Smith apples for authenticity and the best balance of tartness and sweetness.
🥄 Apple peels add natural pectin for thicker sauce; leave them on for added texture.
❄️ Adjust cornstarch to reach desired sauce thickness and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
