Apple Spoon Sweet

Ingredients

● 14 apples (1500 gr

cleaned)

● 1300 gr sugar

● 5 cups of water

● 7-8 cloves

● 2 cinnamon sticks

● 1 pinch of salt

● Juice of 3 lemons

● Peel of 1 lemon

Instructions:

1. We wash the apples thoroughly.

2. We put some water in a bowl and the juice of the 2 lemons (bear in

mind that the water must cover the apples).

3. We remove the pits of all the apples with a special utensil.

4. We peel the apples with a sharp knife, and try to clean the corners.

5. We cut them in the middle and we put them into the bowl with water

and lemon.

6. When we clean them all, we put

in a pot the water, the salt, the

sugar, the cinnamon, the cloves,

and we let them boil for 5’ on a

high flame.

7. We then put the apples in the

pot and we cover them with a

dish. When they start boiling,

we reduce the fire at half.

8. We let them boil for another 5’.

9. We remove the apples from the

fire and we let them covered

with the dish for 20-24 hours.

10. The next day we take the dish

away, put the peel and the

lemon juice and we boil the

sweet apples again until the

sirup boils down for almost 10-15’.

11. We let it cool down and we put it in jars of glass, which will be warm.

Spoon Sweet Firiki

Ingredients

● 20 firiki apples (a Greek variety of apples designated as PDO product, famous for its bitter taste)

● 1kg sugar ● 500 ml water ● vanilla ● blanched almonds ● a small bowl with water and

lemon juice ● 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Peel the apples and remove the

seeds with a tool.

2. Put them in the bowl with the water and the lemon juice so as not to

darken, until peeling is finished.

3. In a wide pot put the sugar, the 500ml of the water and the

vanilla, and leave it for approximately half an hour.

4. Before removing from heat, test with a fork if it is soft enough,

otherwise leave it for a little bit more time.

5. If apples are soft but the syrup seems dilute, remove the apples and

let the syrup boil until it thickens a little.

6. Before removing from the heat we can put the apples in a

casserole with some lemon juice in order to add flavour.

7. In the inside part of the apples, we can put 2-3 shelled almonds. Finally,

we place them in clean jars.

This recipe is a traditional Greek one

and it is basically cooked in

mountainous and hilly areas of the

country and mainly in Pelion where

the Firiki apple variety originates.

Apple Roses

Ingredients

● 4 apples, cored and halved (leave the skin on)

● Juice of 1/2 lemon ● 3 Tbsp marmelade ( we used

apple and quince marmelade but you can use your favorite fruit)

● 2 Tbsp water (plus more for apple

soak) ● 1 sheet of puff pastry

Instructions: Preheat oven at 375o C

1. Cut the apples in slices. 2. Put apple slices in microwave safe

bowl. 3. Fill bowl with water and juice

from half a lemon. Use enough

water to make sure apple slices are covered by water. Microwave for 3 minutes. This will soften the apple slices and make them more pliable for rolling up.

4. Next grab a sheet of puff pastry. Flour your board and roll out the puff pastry. Cut the pastry with a pizza wheel or a knife to make 6 strips at around 7 cm wide.

5. In a bowl mix your marmalade with a couple tablespoons of water. Then spoon out the marmalade in the center of the strip of puff pastry.

6. Next place the apple slices long ways halfway on the strip. Keep adding slices

until you reach the end. Then fold the puff pastry over the bottom of the apple slices.

7. Roll up the puff pastry and place in a greased muffin tin.

8. Bake the apple roses for 35-45 minutes. 9. Pull out of oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
