Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel, core and dice the apples.
  • Add the apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water to a pot.
  • Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat over with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring throughout this time, until the apples are soft.
  • Remove from the heat and blend in a high speed blender until smooth.
  • Pass the apple puree through a sieve to make a smooth curd, alternatively skip this step for a slightly more textured curd.
  • Return the apple puree to the pot and heat over a medium heat.
  • In a small bowl mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp cold water.
  • When the puree has started to boil, add the cornflour and whisk until smooth. Reduce heat and cook for a further 2 minutes until thickened, continue to whisk to prevent any lumps.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before stirring through the vegan butter. 
  • Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of apple, red apples will provide a slightly sweeter curd whereas a green apple will provide a slightly sour taste.
  • Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more maple syrup if desired.
  • Step 5 can be skipped if you’re wanting a slightly textured curd.
  • Apple curd can be served with pancakes, spread on toast or even mixed through your morning bowl of oatmeal or porridge.
