Making apple pastilles at home is quite simple. But first, you need to decide what kind of dessert you want to get and what you are going to use for this.

As you know, marshmallow is a sweet dish of Russian cuisine, the cooking technology of which involves the use of fruit or berry puree, spread on a flat surface and dried in any known way.

Easy making apple marshmallows at home

Surely everyone has tried a delicate and thin apple marshmallow, which has an incredible aroma and a little sourness. There is nothing difficult in preparing such a delicious dessert. However, you will have to be very patient. After all, apple candy at home dries for a long time.

So what ingredients do we need to make such a treat ourselves? To do this, you need to prepare:

• fresh sweet apples - 3 kg;
• drinking water - about ½ glass.

We process the main ingredient

Apple pastilles at home will turn out to be especially tasty if the fruits for such a dessert are sweet and juicy. They are washed thoroughly, and then the core is taken out and chopped into not very large pieces.

Heat treatment

After the apples are prepared, you should start cooking them. To do this, put the fruit in a deep enamel pan.

To prevent the apples from burning at the initial stage, a little water is added to them. As for sugar, it is added only if the fruit is sour and not very tasty.

Covering the pot with a lid, bring the contents to a boil very slowly. Mixing apples from time to time, they are boiled until they are completely boiled and converted into puree. This process can take you 60-90 minutes.

Pureeing, forming and drying a marshmallow

Making apple marshmallows at home is a rather long process. However, it cannot be called labor-intensive. After all, such a dessert is made easily and simply.

After the apples are stewed in their own juice, they are placed in small portions in a fine sieve and intensively crumpled with a crush. As a result of such actions, you should get a very tender homogeneous puree and cake, which can be thrown away.

How is marshmallow formed from apples at home? To make the dessert as thin as possible, use a wide spatula or a knife with a blunt end.

Thus, all cooked puree is laid out on a flat surface and spread so that its thickness does not exceed 4-5 mm. The thinner the layer is, the faster the product will dry.

Thin apple candy at home turns out well in a special device - a dehydrator. After putting the fruit puree in the container of this device, the dessert must be dried for 60-180 minutes. If you decide to cook the marshmallow in the oven, then you will need a little more time for this.

It should also be noted that some housewives prefer to make dessert outdoors (in a draft or in the sun). In this case, the marshmallow will be ready for use only after a few days or even weeks (depending on the weather).

How to prepare fresh apple dessert?

You can make apple marshmallow at home not only from heat-treated fruits, but also from fresh puree. How to do it? For this we only need a few kilograms of juicy and sweet apples. They are washed thoroughly, peeled from the seed box and peel, and then rubbed on a very fine grater. At the same time, you should form a homogeneous and tender puree without coarse lumps. It, as in the previous recipe, is spread in a thin layer on a flat surface and dried in a dehydrator or in the fresh air.

This apple candy at home turns out to be quite sour. This is due to the fact that fruits that have not been thermally processed oxidize rather quickly in air, noticeably changing not only their appearance, but also their taste. For a sweeter dessert, you can add a small amount of powdered sugar to the mashed potatoes.

Making thick sugar marshmallow

Now you have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow homemade apple marshmallow is prepared. The magic dessert according to the above recipe is quite popular in our country. However, some housewives prefer to make thick pastilles rather than thin ones. Its preparation is complicated by the fact that it requires the use of a larger set of products and time for drying. But first things first.

So, to make a thick marshmallow, you need to prepare:

• apples - 300 g;
• protein from a large chicken egg - 1 pc .;
• sugar - 100 g for syrup and 60 g in puree;
• drinking water - 60 ml (for syrup);
• agar-agar - 8 g (for syrup).

Method for preparing fruit base

Thick apple candy at home takes longer than the previous version of the dessert.

First, you need to process the fruit. They are washed, peeled and cored. Next, the apples are chopped into slices and placed in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

Put the dishes on the stove and slowly bring the contents to a boil. If you are afraid that the fruit will burn, then you can add a small amount of drinking water to them.

Cook apples over low heat until they are mashed. After that, they are removed from the stove and partially cooled. Putting fruits in small portions in a fine sieve, grind them with a crush. At the exit, a very delicate puree and cake are obtained, which are immediately thrown away.

To make the marshmallow thicker and more airy, sugar and egg whites must be added to the processed apples. The resulting mass is whipped with a blender until it turns white. After that, they begin to prepare the syrup.

Agar-agar is poured over with ordinary drinking water and allowed to stand for about an hour. Next, granulated sugar is added to the ingredients and the resulting mixture is placed on the stove. It should be heated to a temperature of 100 degrees.

After the implementation of the described actions, the syrup is removed from the stove and cooled to 70 degrees at room temperature. It is then poured into the applesauce and whipped at low speed using a mixer.

Drying process

Having prepared the base for the marshmallow, they begin to dry it. For this, tender and airy puree is laid out in a high form, which is covered in advance with cling film. Having leveled the surface of the dessert with a spoon, it is left in this form for 10-12 hours.

After the specified time has elapsed, the finished marshmallow is laid out on a flat surface by turning the mold over. Having seasoned it with a large amount of powdered sugar, the dessert is cut into strips and left to dry for 3 days. A pastille is considered finished when its top and sides are very hard, and the inside is tender and melts in the mouth.

Belevskaya apple paste at home

This is a regional variety of Russian pastilles. Since the end of the 19th century, they began to produce it in the city of Belev, Tula region. Such a dessert is made in the form of a roll along with egg white and sugar.

To make Belevskaya marshmallow at home, we need the following components:

• apples of the Antonovka variety - 1.8 kg;
• proteins from large chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• sugar - 200 g

The process of step-by-step preparation of the base

To prepare such a delicacy, the apples are thoroughly washed, peeled from the core, and then cut into small slices, which are laid out on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.

Having prepared the fruits, they are sent to the oven, preheated to 170 degrees. Observing this temperature regime, apples are baked for about twenty minutes.

After this time, all products should become as soft as possible. They are taken out of the oven, placed in a fine sieve and intensively rubbed with a crush.

Spread half of granulated sugar to the resulting puree and beat with a mixer until a fluffy and light mass is formed. This process can take you about 20 minutes. In exactly the same way, it is necessary to beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar. In order for them to form a stable and lush mass, it is recommended to pre-stand them in the refrigerator.

After processing the applesauce and proteins, they are combined in one bowl and continue to beat until smooth.

Forming and heat treatment process

Having received a lush and airy mass, they begin to heat it. About 5-6 large spoons are separated from it, and the rest of the mixture is laid out in a deep and wide form, evenly distributing with a spatula (2-2.5 cm thick).

In this form, the product is sent to a preheated oven and dried at a temperature of 150 degrees for 6-7 hours.

After the specified time has elapsed, the apple marshmallow should noticeably change in color, turn brownish and acquire a dense consistency. It is taken out of the oven and carefully cut into 5-6 equal parts (strips). After that, they are greased with the previously left fruit mass and stacked on top of each other.

Having formed a multi-layer dessert, it is sent back to the oven and baked at the same temperature for about two hours.

How to serve?

After the Belevskaya marshmallow is re-subjected to heat treatment, it is carefully removed from the oven and sprinkled with powdered sugar. In this form, the dessert is left at room temperature until it cools completely. Then it is cut into small pieces and served with a cup of tea.

How to store it correctly?

Homemade marshmallows are best preserved in the refrigerator. It is wrapped in parchment paper or placed in a bag. If you decide to store such a product at room temperature, then it is advisable to keep it in a dark place.

The fresh apple harvest season will begin very soon. It's time to stock up on recipes on how to cook delicious health benefits from apples. I think no one will remain indifferent to or apple marshmallow. Probably, few people cook pastila now. But in vain! It is not only very tasty, but also useful, especially for children. Perfect replacement for purchased candies. I highly recommend stocking up for the winter. For everyone who wants to try, I will tell you in detail how to make apple marshmallow at home.

Composition:

• apples
• sugar (optional)

Apple pastila in the oven

Pastila can be made from any apples, even fallen ones, if you grow the apple trees yourself. The amount depends on what kind of cooking utensils you will be using for apples. I have a 5-liter saucepan, so I boil as many apples in it as it contains. I must say right away that enamel pots are not suitable for this. Apples in them burn with prolonged heating.

I remove seeds from apples and cut them into small pieces or wedges. If the peel of the apples is tough and dense, you can peel the apples off.

I put apples in a saucepan, pour water. For this number of apples, for a start, 1 glass. Put on fire, cover and bring to a boil. I add sugar 5 tablespoons. This is to your liking and optional.

Stir the apples periodically so that they warm up evenly. If there is very little liquid or it has evaporated, then add a little water so that the apples do not burn.

I cook until the apples turn almost into porridge.

Then I puree the apple mass with a hand blender. At the same time, I do not remove the pan from the minimum heating.

I boil the resulting puree further to get rid of excess liquid - the mass should thicken. I do this with constant stirring of the apple mass over low heat so that it does not burn. Now be careful! When the applesauce boils, it gurgles violently and hot splashes fly out. I remove the pan from the heat.

How to make apple marshmallow

Cover the baking sheets with baking paper. I note that it is better to take thick paper. I don't know if a simple tracing paper is suitable for this, because it is very thin and, I think, will have time to get wet while the marshmallow is being prepared. Spread the apple mass all over the baking sheet layer no more than 0.5 cm... From this number of apples, I get 2 baking sheets.

Important nuances!

1. I put the apple marshmallow to dry in the oven at 80-90 degrees. I turn on the lower and upper oven heating.
2. You need to dry with the oven door slightly ajar. To do this, you can insert a pencil between the door and the oven body. This is necessary in order to allow wet steam to escape.
3. I turn on the convection mode so that the heating is uniform. Especially if I put 2 baking sheets at the same time.
4. Cooking marshmallow from apples at this temperature takes about 3-4 hours. And this is the fastest way.
5. BUT, in order to save more vitamins, it is better to dry the pastille at a temperature of 60-70 degrees. It will take more time, about 5-6 hours.
6. How to check the readiness of the marshmallow? Take out the baking sheet and touch the marshmallow with your hand. The finished pastille does not stick to the hand and should not be soft. If there are such areas, then you need to dry the marshmallow for a while.
7. Since everyone's ovens are different, you need to control the process accordingly. It really shouldn't scare you. During the cooking process, you will surely feel everything yourself - how much, in what mode and how long it takes to cook in your oven. Do it once, the second time will be much easier.

I cool the finished sheet of apple marshmallow a little and carefully remove it from the paper. This is easy enough.

If there is a need to dry a sheet of marshmallow on the other side, then turn it upside down, put it on a new sheet of paper and dry it again in the oven.

Homemade apple candy in the oven is ready. Can be rolled and cut.

Keep chopped apple marshmallow can be in a closed dry container. Rolls in a dry place.

Sweet option

You can brush a sheet of applesauce with liquid honey, sprinkle with chopped nuts, roll and chop. This candy is not for long-term storage.

P.S. By the same principle - puréing and drying - you can prepare marshmallow from different fruits and berries. No need to cook! Peel all fruits before pureing.

Possible combinations:

• pear, kiwi, banana
• peaches, plums, apricots
• raspberries, currants
• strawberries, seedless grapes, etc.

Cook with pleasure and eat to your health!

With love for you

Many parents now want to keep their children safe from sugar. And it is present in almost all commercial sweet products.

Therefore, I suggest making an apple marshmallow at home. Moreover, the recipes are very simple, and the treat is very tasty. It is useful for everyone, because during drying vitamins are not destroyed and you get them in a concentrated form. And in addition, trace elements and fiber. The most important thing is that it can be prepared for future use for the winter. In the Middle Ages, it was called sweet canned food.

And such a treat with a light heart can be given to children instead of candy.

It is prepared not only from apples, but also from fruits and berries. I know that some people even like the vegetable version of this yummy. But I haven’t tried it, so I will not speak.

I will show you not only options with Antonovka, but we will dilute it with other fruits. If you only have these fruits at hand, then calmly omit the other ingredients and cook only from them. In general, there are two main methods of cooking: without boiling the fruit and baking them in the oven for softness.

They say that marshmallow without heat treatment is more useful. However, baked apples are also rich in trace elements, even more than raw apples. You just don't need to cook them at too high a temperature.

Now let's talk about the main points that cannot be done if you want to get at least some benefit from the product:

1. One of the basic rules is not to dry the fruit mass at temperatures above 55 - 60 degrees. This is how vitamin C begins to break down.
2. During drying, the concentration of fruit sugar increases, so it is important not to overdo it with it.
3. Under no circumstances is honey added before drying. It can be added to an already finished product, nothing else.

To get a good elastic pastille, you need an oven or electric dryer. Previously, they were not there, so the berry mass was placed in a sunny place and languished for a long time until all the moisture evaporated.

Dryers are different. It is better to choose the one in which the instructions say "for marshmallow". This means that the kit will include a special pallet. We always set the temperature to 40 degrees, this is important to get a healthy treat.

You also need a blender. Because it is the easiest way to achieve a uniform fruit consistency.

Ingredients:

• 2 kg of apples.

Most often we take garden fruits - they are very fragrant and sweet-sour in taste. If you bought them in a store, then I advise you to soak them in a soda solution to release the pesticides. We take 1 tablespoon per liter of water. soda.

It's even better if you peel them off. After all, it is she who is treated with wax and other chemicals for better storage. In our refrigerator, such an apple did not spoil for almost three months. Then it was somehow scary to eat it, to be honest.

We wash the apples and peel and peel them. We cut out all dents and damage.

We pass them through a meat grinder or a food processor. And it is better to immediately grind until smooth in a blender.

Wipe the dryer with olive or sunflower oil. Just a couple of drops are needed so that the finished mass can easily be removed from the pallet.

And spread the mixture evenly. It is better to make the thickness no more than a centimeter, but not less than 0.5 cm. Because in the process of moisture evaporation, the layer will become thinner.

We put the pallets in place, close the lid and set the temperature to 40 degrees.

We turn on the dryer and count for about 10-12 hours.

As soon as the mass stops sticking to your hands, you can take out our elastic layer and roll it up for storage.

The marshmallow is often cut into long strips and laid with papyrus paper. And roll up together. In this form, it can be safely stored for a year at room temperature. However, it is usually eaten at a stroke.

How to make apple marshmallow in a multicooker without sugar

Now consider the fruit baked option. We know these apples are high in fiber and healthy fiber. We will use a multicooker for this purpose. Nothing burns in it and it consumes less electricity than turning on the entire oven.

We need 3 kg of apples.

We peel our fruits and cut them into pieces.

We put it in the multicooker bowl and turn on the stewing mode for 2 hours.

Pass the finished soft aromatic apples through a sieve. To get a uniform consistency without lumps. This step can also be done with a blender.

Put the resulting puree in a bowl and leave the lid open. We turn on the baking mode for 30 minutes.

Stir constantly so that excess moisture disappears and our delicacy dries faster.

Spread the mixture on baking paper, spreading the mass in a thin layer.

And we send an hour to the oven at 4 at 60 degrees. In the oven, the marshmallow is dried only with the door open so that the moisture can escape.

Pastila "Belevskaya" from apples and protein

Want to know the royal recipe for marshmallow? It turns out flaky, like a cake. Due to the addition of protein, the mass increases in volume and becomes very delicate in taste.

Ingredients:

• z blocks - 1.5 kg,
• sugar - 0.2 kg,
• 1 cold protein
• powdered sugar for rubbing.

We clean the fruits, take out the middle and seeds.

We cut them into pieces and put them in the oven for forty minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

They are baked and made like mashed potatoes. We grind them through a sieve.

Pour half of the measured sugar into this puree and mix it with a mixer. Beat the mass until it turns white.

Now we are preparing the protein cream. Remember, in order for it to be successful and airy, we need to take exactly a cold egg.

And separate the protein into which we pour the sugar. Beat with a mixer until stable peaks are obtained. This means that when you turn the bowl over, the protein foam will remain in place and will not fall out onto the table.

Put some of the cream to the puree and mix.

We distribute the fruit mixture on 1 cm thick parchment paper. And send the baking sheet to the oven at 100 degrees for 2 hours with the door open. In order to make the layer easier to move away from the parchment, it is better to grease it with oil.

Then we will separate the finished marshmallow from the paper and cut it into 4 equal parts. We smear each piece with cream and lay it in layers on top of each other.

And we send to dry in the oven for another hour.

We take out our delicacy, cool and rub the top and sides with powdered sugar. This will make them less sticky. That's all, you can serve this royal dish for tea.

A simple and delicious recipe with bananas in the oven

Bananas give this dish a smooth, firm feel. Because in the oven, the structure of the marshmallow turns out to be a little worse than in the dryer. Add nuts to taste, you can do without them.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of apples
• 1 kg of bananas
• 1 tbsp cinnamon,
• 3 tbsp crushed roasted peanuts.

Cut off the peel and core from the apples and cut the pulp into slices.

Remove the peel from the bananas.

Sprinkle the mass with cinnamon and interrupt the fruit with a blender.

At this stage, add the nuts. They can be any, we have peanuts.

We spread the mixture on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat. The marshmallow leaves him very easily.

Spread the layer evenly over the baking sheet. Then put it in the oven at 60 degrees.

When closing the door, we substitute a pencil so that there is a gap through which moisture will evaporate.
We leave for about 12 hours.

The finished layer does not stick to hands and is easily detached from the silicone mat.

It is better to store it rolled up in parchment paper so that it does not stick together.

Homemade marshmallow with agar-agar

Another holiday recipe with a gelling agent. This candy does not dry out, but hardens. Here it is important to bring the agar to the desired condition.

Ingredients:

• 7 g agar agar,
• 1 protein
• 150 g cold water
• sugar - 0.5 kg,
• applesauce - 0.7 kg.

Pour the agar-agar into water and wait 40 minutes for it to swell. We put it on fire and pour 300 g of sugar into it. But this should be done only after the agar-agar has dissolved.

Cook the boiling mixture over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

Beat the cold apple mixture until it turns white. Then pour cold protein into it. Should get an increase in volume and the formation of a light fluffy mass.

And gradually add sugar.

We achieve until the crystals are completely dissolved in the mass.

And then, continuing to beat, pour in the agar-agar mixture, continue to work with the mixer for another 1 minute.

Then cover the baking sheet with some oiled baking paper and pour out our mixture. Approximately 2 cm thick.
And put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, during which time our mixture will harden.

Then we leave on the table at room temperature for 6-10 hours to dry the mass.

And it remains only to rub the top with powdered sugar.

Diet treat with gelatin

For adherents of proper nutrition, I also recommend this recipe. Here we will take ready-made baby puree. But you have to choose where there is no added sugar. One jar will cost you up to 30 rubles, and you will save a lot of time.

Of course, you can make this puree by hand, but this is not an option in haste. I think the recipe is very successful and I advise you.

Ingredients:

• 180 - 200 grams of sugar-free baby applesauce,
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tbsp sorbitol for whipping,
• 2 tablespoons of gelatin (20 gr),
• nuts, dried fruit, and optional sweetener.

Pour the gelatin with applesauce. Leave for 20 minutes until swelling.

Combine cold proteins with sorbitol and beat until stable peaks appear. Remember to turn the mixer on slowly at first, gradually increasing it to maximum.

Put the gelatin in the microwave until it boils. But do not boil, otherwise it will lose its properties. You can do this procedure in a water bath.

And pour the hot apple mixture into the whites, continuing to beat with a mixer.

Pour the mixture onto a silicone mat and put it in the refrigerator until it solidifies.

Then cut into pieces and serve with tea.

Cooking from apples and plums without cooking in a fruit dryer

It is also delicious to combine apples with plums. It turns out a doubly useful delicacy. Moreover, many ingredients are not required.

Ingredients:

• 3 apples,
• 6 small plums.

First of all, wash the fruit and remove the seeds from the plums. We transfer them to the blender bowl.
Cut out the core from the fruit and cut it into pieces.

Put all the fruits in the chopper bowl and grind them in puree.

Take the drier tray and cover it with baking paper.

We spread the fruit puree on it and distribute it in an even layer from 1 to 0.5 cm, but not less.
Install the pallets, close the lid and turn on the dryer at 40-48 degrees.

After 10-12 hours, we take out the marshmallow, separate it from the paper and roll it into a roll.

Enjoy your meal.

Apple pastila is a primordially Russian delicacy. There is even a Pastila Museum in Kolomna, but it appeared thanks to the landowner Ambrose Prokhorov. It was he who proposed to beat the apples and dry them in the oven, for which he was awarded a medal at the gardening exhibition in St. Petersburg. Today, such a delicacy can be bought in any store or prepared at home - few products are required, but a lot of time.

Good day to all.

And immediately the question: do your children love marshmallow? We always have 2 types of it at home. One on fructose in thin slices, and the second in the form of a lush cake - Belevskaya. Children are happy to crack both of her species.

But the real revelation for them was the marshmallow that my grandmother prepares. Remember her, in large rolls drying on newspapers on the veranda? This is how she treated them in winter. It was just a delight. Now granny knows exactly what to take for gifts.

And now, watching the slow ripening of the fruits on the apple trees, I thought, why cook only juice from apples and, after all, you can easily make marshmallows yourself.

There are 5 recipes in the collection, but I think that most will use only the first one, because it is the simplest one.

Apple pastila at home: a simple recipe in the oven without sugar

My grandmother never used the oven to make pastilles. Previously, there was no gas in the villages, but now, when it appeared, she still does not favor it, preferring the good old brick oven.

But using the oven allows you to significantly speed up the process, which in turn makes it possible to process more apples, which is very convenient when the harvest is really rich.

Preparation:

1. For cooking we need only apples. They need to be peeled and seeds removed, cut into slices and placed in a saucepan in which they will cook. The number of apples is determined easily - how many fit into the pan, we take as much.

The pan should be thick-walled (cast iron) or aluminum. In ordinary enamelled apples will burn.

2. Put the saucepan on medium heat, add 1 glass of water and cook for half an hour under a closed lid to soften the fruit.

It is not advisable to stir at the same time, but if you are afraid that it may burn, then stir gently, trying not to turn the apples into mashed potatoes ahead of time, since after cooking the liquid will need to be drained and would not want a lot of pulp to go with it.

3. After 30 minutes, check that the pulp is completely boiled and easily pierced with a fork, remove the pan from the heat and drain the resulting liquid.

4. We interrupt the pulp with a blender until an airy puree.

5. Next, take a baking sheet, cover it with cling film or parchment paper (parchment paper seems more environmentally friendly to me, but here you need to carefully read the instructions for using the cling film - is it safe when heated) and apply mashed potatoes on it with a thin layer, no more than 0 , 5cm, or better and even thinner.

6. We turn on the oven on the smallest fire (something about 60 degrees) and send the future marshmallow into it. You can make several such baking sheets at once, depending on how many will fit in the oven.

We dry it for about 10 hours with the door ajar so that the moisture released by the fruit evaporates.

If cooking came in the evening, then dry the marshmallow for a couple of hours, but turn off the oven at night without taking out the baking sheet. In the morning we continue.

7. The pastille is ready when it is no longer sticky. Then it must be carefully removed from the film, rolled up and cut into portions convenient for storage.

It is easiest to store in plastic containers with a lid.

Apple candy at home without a blender according to an old recipe

And here is my grandmother's recipe, according to which they cooked in my childhood, when they never dreamed of any electric kitchen helpers. All with your hands.

Preparation:

Again, we only need apples. And sugar if the variety is sour.

1. Peel and seed the apples, cut them into small pieces (to simplify further cooking) and put them in a cauldron or other thick-walled dish. Turn on medium heat, pour a glass of water and cook for 20 minutes under a closed lid.

2. After 10 minutes add sugar and mix gently. It is difficult to say how much you need, on average, 1 glass (200 ml) is recommended for 4 kg of peeled apples.

3. After boiling, the apples are soft enough to crush them into the puree with a mallet. It is no longer necessary to drain the excess water, since sugar is dissolved in it. And there shouldn't be a lot of it.

The resulting puree should be tasted and, if necessary, added sugar and mixed thoroughly while the puree is still hot.

After that, we are waiting for complete cooling.

4. Using a spoon, apply the cooled pastille on parchment paper in a thin layer and leave to dry in the sun for 2-3 days.

There are two important points here:

• The paper should be thick so that the finished pastille can be easily separated from it.
• It is necessary to dry it in the sun, and not in a warm room, otherwise the marshmallow will simply grow moldy.

5. The pastille is ready the moment it ceases to be sticky. The easiest way to store it is rolled up.

Step-by-step photo recipe for making candy with honey

There is a widespread misconception that replacing sugar with fructose in meals makes them healthier and more dietary. This is a dangerous misconception that diabetics replace sugar with fructose. Fructose does not really raise blood sugar and allows diabetic people to feast on sweets. But it has nothing to do with "dieteticity".

With fructose, you will gain pounds as quickly as with regular sugar.

Therefore, honey, containing almost only fructose, is of course very tasty, but not at all safe. It is important to observe the measure in everything.

To prepare 1 baking sheet of marshmallow we need:

• Apples - 6 medium
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons

1. We need lemon juice so that the apples do not turn black while they are waiting for their turn. Therefore, before cutting them, take a bowl of cold water and dissolve 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in it.

2. Peel and seed apples and cut into slices.

3. Then put the apples in a saucepan (drain the water with lemon juice), add half a glass of clean cold water and turn on medium heat.

Cook under a closed lid, stirring occasionally gently, for 15-20 minutes until the apples become soft and translucent.

4. After that, remove the pan from the heat, wait until the fruit has cooled, and then interrupt them in a blender.

5. Add honey and beat again.

6. The resulting puree is evenly distributed over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

It is important that the paper covers the baking sheet completely, including the rims.

Preheat the oven to 60 degrees and put a baking sheet in it for 5-6 hours. Leave the oven door ajar.

7. The finished pastille is easily separated from the backing and does not stick to your hands.

8. Roll a tube out of the marshmallow and cut into portions of the desired size.

Done. Enjoy your meal!

Video on how to cook marshmallow in an electric dryer

Well, if you are the happy owner of an electric dryer (or a scientific dehydrator), then the process of making marshmallows at home will become even easier and more pleasant for you.

I suggest watching a video on this topic.

A quick recipe for cinnamon apple marshmallow

A large number of products can be used in the manufacture of marshmallows. It can be other fruits like plums or apricots, or even vegetables like pumpkin. You can add raisins or nuts.

These are interesting options, which I will consider in more detail in other collections, but for now I suggest the easiest way to make the marshmallow more aromatic is to add cinnamon to it.

And again, very few ingredients are needed for cooking:

• Apples
• Sugar
• Cinnamon

1. Remove the peel from the apples (optional), remove the seeds and cut into slices. We put them in an aluminum pan and cover with sugar.

A full 5 liter pot requires about 1 cup of sugar. Glass - 200 ml.

2. Pour 1 glass of water into a saucepan, put it on medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes under a closed lid until the fruit is completely softened. If the pan is not aluminum or thick-walled, then you need to stir constantly so that the apples do not burn.

3. Then knead the fruit with a blender until puree. And we continue to evaporate the mashed potatoes for another 20 minutes over low heat to remove excess moisture.

It is especially important to continue stirring here, because without stirring, the puree begins to "gurgle", sprinkling pieces of apples around itself.

Then remove the puree from the heat and let it cool.

4. Take a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper, sprinkle with cinnamon and evenly distribute the applesauce.

Here is an interesting point: the thicker the layer, the sweeter the marshmallow will be. And the thinner, the correspondingly sour.

5. We send the baking sheet to the oven, preheated to 80 degrees for 3-4 hours. As in all previous recipes, we do not close the door completely so that condensation does not accumulate inside.

We periodically check the marshmallow by pressing on it with our finger and, as soon as it stops sticking to it, we take out the baking sheet, carefully separate the marshmallow from the paper and roll it up with a tube.

As you can see, making marshmallows is not difficult at all. You just need to be patient and remember to get it out of the oven in time.

And in the next article, we will take a closer look at how to make Belevskaya marshmallow. I wanted to add her to this collection, but she deserves a separate one.

And that's all for today, thank you for your attention.
