Apfelmus is a beloved applesauce dessert in Liechtenstein, often enjoyed as a comforting treat. This simple yet flavorful dish is made from tart apples and is a staple during family gatherings and festive occasions. It is commonly served alongside savory dishes or enjoyed on its own as a sweet snack.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the apple slices, water, and granulated sugar. If using, add the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and breaking apart, about 20-25 minutes.
Once the apples are soft, use a potato masher to mash them into a smooth or chunky consistency, depending on your preference. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to puree the apples directly in the saucepan.
Taste the Apfelmus and adjust the sweetness or spices as needed.
Allow the Apfelmus to cool before serving. It can be served warm or cold.
Enjoy your meal!
