Tips:

  • Use fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your jumbles the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core your apples before cooking them. This will make it easier to mash them later.
  • Cook your apples until they are very soft. This will make them easier to mash and will help the jumbles hold their shape.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet your apples are and how sweet you like your jumbles.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in applesauce jumbles include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Let the applesauce cool completely before adding it to the other ingredients. This will help prevent the jumbles from becoming too soft.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the jumbles hold their shape.
  • Bake the jumbles until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your jumbles.
