Method
Tips
- Why it works
- The sugar caramelizes as it heats so the apples don't stick or burn. Lemon juice keeps the fruit from darkening.
- Substitutions
- Swap the sugar for honey (15 g), and the caramel will be thicker. Use vanilla sugar (½ tsp) instead of cinnamon.
- Common mistakes
- If the apples cook down to a purée, lower the heat or cook with the lid on. A burnt smell appears over high heat.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in a closed jar in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in a pan for 1 minute with a spoonful of water.
- Serve with
- Serve with hot pancakes and sour cream for breakfast or an afternoon snack. For kids, add it to porridge instead of syrup.
