Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are good choices.
  • Cut the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife and cut the apples into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Soak the apples in lemon water: This will prevent them from browning. Add the apple slices to a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice. Soak for 10-15 minutes, then drain.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apples from sticking.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat: This will give them time to soften without burning.
  • Stir the apples occasionally: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pot.
  • Add the sugar and cinnamon: Once the apples have softened, add the sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the apples cool: Once the apples are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Conclusion:

Apple stick salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your apples tart or sweet, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give apple stick salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
