    Ingredient Notes

    • Apples:  Granny smith apples are a tart green apple commonly sold in supermarkets in Australia.  Other apples that would work just a s well are Baldwin, Cameo, Cortland, Idared.  These are all varieties of tart and crisp apples that hold thier shape well during cooking and baking.
    • Monkfruit:  I used classic white monkfruit sweetener which is a sgranulated sweetener that measures like sugar.  Granulated stevia or any other granulated sweetener that measures like sugar could also be used.
    • Spices:  any spice combination may be used, ginger is also another popular option.

    How To Make

    Peel apples into chunks, making sure to get all the peel off from the edges

    Chop apples into bite sized chunks, about 2cm x 2 cm or ½ inch squares

    chopped apples on a cutting board

    Add chopped apples to a pot on stove on medium heat, along with all other ingredients. (don't use a lid on the pan)

    raw apples in a pot ready to be cooked

    Cook for 12 minutes or until fragrant and apples are starting to soften. (Make sure to put a timer on). Stirring every couple of minutes to ensure apples cook evenly through.

    Taste apples to see if they are cooked to your liking after 12 minutes, if not cook for another couple of minutes.

    Recipe Tips

    How To Store Stewed Apples

    Before storing, let the cooked apples come to room temperature. Then place into an air tight plastic container with lid and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

    How To Reheat Stewed Apples

    To reheat, microwave on 50% power for 30 to 60 seconds, depending on how how hot you like them. Avoid microwaving on full power as the apples may loose their shape and become squishy.

    Can Stewed Apples be Frozen?

    No. This recipe is not suitable for freezing. Its best to eat within 2 - 3 days.

    My apples turned to mush, what did I do wrong?

    If this happens, it means the temperature was to high and or the apples were cooked for too long. 12 minutes on medium heat in a pot with the lid off is recommended, and make adjustments from there.
