Notes
- Apples: Bramley cooking apples give the softest, most traditional stewed apple texture. For firmer pieces, replace some or all of them with a firm eating apple.
- Cooking time: I tested this recipe in a 3.5 litre Morphy Richards Sear & Stew slow cooker. The Bramley apples were properly soft after 3 hours on HIGH.
- Slice thickly: Bramleys break down easily, so cut them into fairly thick slices if you want some texture to remain.
- Don't over-stir: Once the apples are soft, stir them gently to prevent them turning into apple purée.
- Sugar: Reduce or omit the brown sugar if you prefer. Bramley apples are naturally tart, so taste and adjust accordingly.
- Storage: Cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze cooled stewed apples in suitable containers for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a saucepan or microwave until piping hot.
