Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 3 apples, peeled and diced into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Toss the peeled and diced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
- Mix the sauce ingredients: In a pot or the Instant Pot liner, combine brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and water, stirring to dissolve the sugars and spices.
- Add apples to the sauce: Place the prepared apples into the liquid mixture evenly.
- Cook the mixture: If using an Instant Pot, cook on manual HIGH pressure for 0 minutes and then perform a quick pressure release. If using the stovetop, simmer the mixture for approximately 10 minutes or until the apples are fork tender.
- Thicken the sauce: Remove about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the pot and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth, forming a slurry.
- Combine and finish: Pour the cornstarch slurry back into the pot with the apples, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a dip-like consistency.
- Serve or store: Use the dip right away, or refrigerate it for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it to enjoy later.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet and tangy flavor.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount based on your taste preference.
- This dip pairs well with graham crackers, cinnamon sugar pita chips, or fresh fruit slices.
- If freezing, thaw the dip in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- Stir well before serving if the dip has been refrigerated to recombine any separated liquid.
