Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Always prepare all your ingredients and equipment before starting to cook. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your Aplets will taste. If possible, use organic and locally-sourced fruits and nuts.
  • Don't Overcook the Apples: Apples should be cooked until they are soft but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a Good Quality Jelly: The quality of your jelly will greatly impact the taste of your Aplets. Use a jelly that is made with real fruit and has a good flavor.
  • Be Patient: Making Aplets takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you will end up with a subpar product.
