And no – it’s not appelsauce

If you are used to the typically english habit of having a little bit of applesauce with your dinner – then you are in for a real treat.

Appelmoes is a typically dutch food, loved by children & adults alike.

You can add it to virtually any food – ideal with chips, main meals or fantastic with kappucijners.

Go into any dutch shop like Albert Heijn & you will find many different types of varieties – from smooth to bits, from plain to premium.

For example most big supermarkets will have over 30 varieties.

Instructions

• Peel the apples, cut them in 4 and take out the core. Then cut them into smaller bits. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze out the juice.
• Add the applepieces to 100 ml water in a large pan, add 1 table spoon lemon juice, 1 table spoon sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Heat until boiling.
• Turn down the heat, partly cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. Stirring now and then.
• Remove the lid and switch of the heat. For a smooth appelmoes use either a potato masher or a hand blender (like the one on the right) for 1 minute, for one with bits just leave.
• Spoon into a dish – and eat (quickly) before the kids get to it.

You can save the appelmoes in a fridge for a couple of days.
