Caramelized applesauce is a great classic revisited to bring an ultra-gourmet touch to your Ninja Creami ice creams. With its sweet taste and caramel notes, it goes perfectly with vanilla, cinnamon or even caramel ice creams. Plus, it’s super easy to prepare!
Ingredients :
- 4 apples (Golden or Fuji type, they hold up well when cooked)
- 50 g of sugar
- 30g butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a spicy touch)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 50 ml of water
Preparation :
- Peel and cut the apples
Start by peeling the apples, remove the core and cut them into small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will cook. - Caramelize the apples
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar and let it melt gently until you obtain a golden caramel. Be careful not to brown it too much to prevent it from becoming bitter. Then add the apple pieces and mix well so that they are coated with caramel. - Cooking the apples
Let the apples cook in the caramel for about 10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. The apples will begin to soften and absorb the caramel. Then add the water and lemon juice, and continue to cook until the apples are very tender and the liquid is slightly reduced. If you use cinnamon, add it now to flavor your compote. - Mixing (optional)
If you prefer a very smooth compote, you can put it in a mixer or blender to obtain a finer texture. Otherwise, you can leave it as is with small pieces of caramelized apples for more texture. - Let it cool
Once the compote is ready, let it cool before using it. It keeps very well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
