Apple home-made pastilles are a delicious and useful delicacy that can be given without trial to even small children. According to the original recipe, it is prepared without the addition of sugar, and the missing sweetness can be replenished by adding honey to honey apple.
Previously, the pastille was dried in the air under direct sunlight. Many people who have such an opportunity continue to make delicacy in such a natural way. And in a city apartment or in bad weather conditions, you can use a dryer or oven.
How to make apple pasta at home from apple puree - a recipe in the dryer
Ingredients:
- fresh apples;
- honey - to taste;
- ground cinnamon - to taste.
Preparation
Prepare the pasta with a dryer is an easy thing. To do this, we take fresh apples, wash them, dry them and remove the stems and cores with seeds. Now cut the fruit into pieces, which we put into the blender's container and grind until a tender apple sauce is obtained. In the process of the device, honey and ground cinnamon can be added to taste. We pour the tray of the dryer with refined vegetable oil or simply lining with parchment paper and lay out on it a prepared puree of apples. We distribute the mass with a uniform layer approximately one centimeter thick.
On the middle mode of the device the pastille can be dried up to twelve hours. A sure sign of its readiness is the backlog of the fruit layer from the pallet or paper.
Now it can be twisted with a roll and cut into certain fragments. Also, the pastille can be made with small plates (squares or rhombuses), cutting a common layer into fragments of the desired size and shape.
Apple pastille home cooking - a recipe in the oven
Ingredients:
- fresh apples;
- berries to choose - to taste;
- sunflower seeds peeled - to taste;
- honey - to taste.
Preparation
If you do not have dryers in the arsenal of kitchen appliances, then you can cook a delicacy in the oven. To do this, we remove the washed fresh apples from the seeds together with the core, cut into parts and crush the blender to a condition of almost uniform apple sauce. If desired, the taste of the pastille can be varied by adding berries or sunflower seeds. Not too much will be honey. It must also be added to your liking. Finally, we punch the apple puree with the blender additives once more, after which we spread it on the baking sheet, pre-laying it with a silicone rug or a cut of the food film, which must also be smeared with vegetable oil without the aroma.
The apple layer should not be less than one centimeter, otherwise the pastille will be dried very long. The temperature of the oven during the entire period of drying the treats should be minimal and not exceed sixty degrees, and the oven door is slightly open. It is best to install the pan on the uppermost shelf and use it if there is a convection mode. So the drying will be faster.
We determine the readiness just like when preparing the pastille in a dryer, along a well-lagging apple leaf.
To make the pastel turned out not so dark, you can sprinkle with apple juice after slicing apple, pour a small portion of water and put it in a saucepan on a plate cook. As soon as the slices start to decay well, remove the container from the plate, let the apple mass cool down, then season it with honey and punch the blender to homogeneity. Drying such a pastille is possible both in the dryer and in the oven under the same conditions. In this case, the lemon juice and the heat treatment of apple fruits will prevent their oxidation and the paste will be much lighter.
