Apple compote
- 700 g Red Apples (hard apple)
- 80 g Caster sugar
- 40 g Water
- 6 g Pectin
- 60 g Lemon juice
- 5 g Cinnamon
- 150g Red Apples (hard apple)
Peel the larger amount of apples and cut them into smaller pieces.
Put the sugar, water and pectin in a saucepan and cook a light brown caramel.
Then add the apples, lemon juice and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, until the apples soften to the consistency of applesauce, which will take at least 15 minutes.
Blend the mixture into a smooth cream and cool it down quickly by placing the bowl in an ice bath.
Peel the smaller amount of apples and dice them into brunoise size.
Fold the diced apples into the cooled apple cream.
