This Irish Stewed Apples Recipe is a comforting classic that is very popular in my family. It’s a favourite of my grandmothers, who loves having it served warm with custard. Stewed apples are a simple yet charming dish as some of the apples still keep a little bite while others create a pleasing smooth texture.
This dish is fairly simple and quick to make, the most difficult task is to prepare the apples. To do this, begin by peeling the apples. Remove the core or cut the apple around it. Then slice the apples into chunks.
Place the apples, sugar and water into a saucepan or deep sided pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often until the apples have softened. Serve warm or allow to cool fully before placing into an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Any kind of apple can be used for this recipe. My favourite types of apple to use for this is Bramley apples (also called cooking apples) or red apples such as McIntosh or Pink Lady. You can use green eating apples for this recipe but you may need to add a touch more sugar if they are very sour.
Stewed apples are delicious served with many different dishes. They can be eaten by themselves or they pair well with custard, rice pudding, cakes, ice cream, pancakes or even porridge.
While this recipe doesn’t add any flavours you can add anything you’d like. Flavours that go well with this stewed apples include vanilla, cinnamon, chai, ginger and lemon.
