Making good use extra or leftover apples…

Sometimes or Often when I forgot to search the fridge for fruits to cut and serve, I will end up with many leftover fruits to clear before expired or rotten.

 

One weekend, I remembered the desserts my ex-colleague (Bee) used to make for us (in my old office we have the tradition of taking turns to prepare desserts for our department).

 

This simple yet yummy desserts is what we call it Apple desserts or apple “tang sui”-literally translated as “sweet-water”.

 

Although it is sweet but we can make it without any sugar. Just add more sweet honey dates(mi zao) for extra sweetness.

 

Ingredients:

 

Apples – 3-4 pcs, cored and cubed

Honey Dates – 4-5pcs rinsed

Rock sugar – (optional) 2-3pcs

Chinese almond – (optional) 2tsp

Water – 2.5 litres

 

This is good for 2-3 pax.( The quantity can be adjusted according to the amount you made)

 

Cook and simmer over low fire for about 1 ½ hours – 2 hours.

 

If you more apples to clear..you can make extra and store it in the fridge(just the water alone) and it’ll be turned into nice n cooling apple juice :) good for older kids too…natural juices haha…

 

Enjoy experimenting…

 

Cheers!
