4 tbsp water

Tips

  • With apples and sultanas, this recipe is a good source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer. 
  • Apples provide Vitamin C. Vitamin C supports your immune system. 
  • Sultanas provide sweetness along with fibre and vitamins. 

  • If you can, compost the apple cores. 
  • This is a good recipe for using up apples that are a bit old or bruised. Cut out any bruised bits. 
  • You don’t have to peel the apples. 

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ apples to save money. 
  • Buying in bulk can help save money in the long run. A larger packet of sultanas may be cheaper per 100g. 

Method

Step 1
Combine the apple, sultanas and cinnamon and 2 tbsp of the water in a saucepan.

Step 2
Cook on medium heat until the apples are soft. Add more water if needed.

Serving suggestion: Enjoy this recipe on its own, add it to oats for breakfast or use it to sweeten natural yoghurt. 

Food safety tip: If you are packing for lunch, the stewed apple needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
