6. Kanzi

7. A little recipe

Now that you’ve chosen the best apple for your applesauce, you’re probably also curious about the best recipe. To do this, use 1 kilo of apples, 75 ml of water, the juice of half a lemon, two to four tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Then peel the apples and cut into small pieces. Boil the apple pieces in water, lemon juice and sugar for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Depending on the texture, you can use a masher or an immersion blender to smooth the puree. Then season with cinnamon and leave to cool.
