Caramelized apple is very simple and easy. It tastes best in the fall when there are lots of apples. In this recipe, I make 2 types of caramelized apples. One is diced, the other is sliced, and they're prepared the same way. I usually make more and vacuum pack as jam so it'll keep for months or a year.
Ingredients
- 5 apples, cut them into small cubes and slices
- 15 g butter, (Note 1)
- 60 g sugar, (Note 1)
- 200 ml water, (Note 1)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch, (Note 1)
- a pinch cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Wash the apples, peel them, and cut them into small pieces and slices.
- First heat the pan on medium heat, put in the butter, and add the small apple cubes, stir for 30 seconds. (Note 2)
- Add the sugar and stir for 2 minutes with the apple cubes so that they get a nice golden brown color. (Note 3)
- Bring water to a boil, then add the cornstarch water and stir so it doesn't clump. (Note 4)
- Sprinkle some cinnamon powder on top to enhance the flavor.
FOR SLICED APPLES.
- You prepare another pan and follow the same instructions as above.

Tips & Notes:
- Divide the butter, sugar, water, and cornstarch into two portions for the diced apples and the apple slices. If you're only going to make one kind, you don't need to divide them.
- When you add the butter, make sure the heat is low. Otherwise, it'll burn easily and become bitter.
- Fry the apples with the sugar first before adding the water. This will allow the apples to caramelize and get a nice golden brown color.
- Add cornstarch to improve the consistency, but it must be added after the water has boiled. And when pouring, you need to stir constantly with a spoon, otherwise lumps will form.
