6 servings
- 3 lbs apples (about 6 medium; a mix of honeycrisp and granny smith works well), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
Ingredient noteCooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked apple in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid apple, tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 18–22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon.
