Looking at cheapest material where i am now. -apples
First time in life, im gonna try my hand at making sort of jam/ spread using apple pie filling recipe.
Ingredients -
4-5 apples i think i cored and peeled up to 6 of them (bought cheapest Gala, smaller and fresh).
Dice them and put aside.
On medium heat pan drop in .
2 tbspoon - butter ( i used margarine aka fatty spread here).
2 tbspoon water - substituted with apple juice since i got on hand
1 tbspoon cinnamon powder - bought 1 small pack just for this experiement.
1 tbspoon sugar - sub'd with 1 pack litttle brown sugar
Add diced apples.
Keep cooking until they turn soft. Dont have a masher, i kind of wanted something like McD's apple pie filling. So i cut them smaller while cooking until they soften and water.
Add cornstarch 1tbspoon - i use feeling measurement.
Cook until apples soften to your liking.
Let cool off, then keep in jar - i suppose refrigerate. Will update back how long it lasts.
This recipe yields me like 3/4 of a big jar. Labor intense, cut and dice apples while watching swordsmitch arc kimetsu no yaiba. But taste is pretty good, like those from mart shelf, minus all the preservative im guessing it depends alot on apple sweetness level, or to compensate by adding sugar.
The skins from peeling, throw them into oven. i baked 10 min 100c 2 times, then go for 15min 125c. Abit charred, but its crispy. Maybe last round should've gone 10min 100c as well. Make use of everything, these ideas i get after looking around random insta post.
