Questions about Stewed apple

How do you make stewed apple from scratch?

Peel, core and chop Bramley apples, then put them in a saucepan with a splash of water. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft; mash for a smooth purée or leave some chunks.

Do you need to add sugar to stewed apple?

Not necessarily. Bramley apples are sharp, so taste them once soft and add a little sugar if you want; sweeter eating apples often need none.

Which apples are best for stewing?

Bramley apples break down readily into a soft, fluffy purée. Choose eating apples such as Cox or Braeburn if you want the pieces to hold their shape better.

How long does stewed apple keep in the fridge?

Cool it promptly, put it in a covered container and refrigerate within two hours. Use it within two days, following Food Standards Agency advice for leftovers.

Can you freeze stewed apple?

Yes. Cool it, portion it into freezer-safe containers and freeze; thaw it in the fridge before serving or reheating.

What goes well with stewed apple?

Serve it warm with custard, cold with yoghurt, or spoon it over porridge. It also makes a familiar filling or layer in an apple crumble.

Can you use stewed apple instead of apple sauce with pork?

Yes. Mash it until smooth for a simple stand-in; it may taste sharper than prepared apple sauce, so taste it before serving.
