Apple Pastila

Ingredients

• 2 kg Apples
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to the lowest setting (around 170°F or 75°C).
2. 2Peel and core the apples. Cut them into chunks.
3. 3Place the apple chunks in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until softened. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
4. 4Puree the cooked apples using a blender or food processor until smooth.
5. 5Stir in the honey (if using) and cinnamon (if using).
6. 6Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. 7Pour the apple puree onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
8. 8Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 hours, or until the pastila is dry and leathery to the touch. The drying time will vary depending on the oven and the thickness of the puree.
9. 9Let the pastila cool completely, then peel it off the parchment paper.
10. 10Cut the pastila into strips or squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
