Apple cheese

[Elena]

Elena, it turns out, together with the grains? Will not get in the way when eating?

along with the grains?

Why? I removed the middle from the apples, squeezed out the juice, covered the cake with sugar, boiled it, squeezed it through a fine tulle mesh, everything that was superfluous remained on the tulle, the mass turned out to be homogeneous, then according to the recipe (I boil it on a gas stove). Later I will post pictures of the finished product.

[Svetlan]

I warn you, the process is lengthy.

Svetlan, and how long?

Will it be cooked in a day?

I boil it down just like you):

into a thick-bottomed and thick-walled pan and send it to the stove on the flame divider for the smallest light on the smallest burner. I do not cover the pan with a lid

the apple mass needs to be boiled down at least twice, right)?

Yes. If less, then the consistency is not the same.

[Elena]

Elena, I rarely make juice, I never peel apples, so I asked.


I got used to it like this: in the evening I peel the apples, fill it with sugar and put it in the MV for heating. During the night, the apples give juice and soften. I drain the juice, evaporate it on the stove, then return the thick mass to the MV bowl. And I carcass apples at 100 ° C with an open lid in MV. I don’t blender! Otherwise, it spits a lot). I interfere periodically. Somewhere for dinner, the mass is well evaporated, then I go through with a blender and you can either boil it on the stove or in the microwave.

I forgot to blender one batch, I even wonder what will come out now
Made with honey, the cheese came out very soft and sticky. I'm drying ...
And yet, it depends very much on the quality of apples. There were some watery apples (who would have known when buying), the cheese came out much less. It took a long time to evaporate, the mass was all liquid. And the bottom line is small.

I repeat once again: an exciting experience! Tightened)))
I sculpt for gifts. Very unusual!




Angela, happy Birthday!!
You make us happy with such wonderful recipes

[Daria]

Daria, here are the promised photos


A piece that was cooked darker according to the recipe back in July, the apples were very juicy and I boiled them for sooooo long, the one that was lighter in the middle of September from cake from Antonovka, I boiled it for about 30-40 minutes, he did not spit at all, thickened well, the mass looked like choux pastry. And it dried up faster than the first cheese. It resembles really hard cheese in consistency, it is cut very well.

And I bought another 7 kg of apples especially for cheese, the apples are already well dried, exactly what you need and the price is pleasant.
The first batch was cooked from apples and added about a quarter of apricots, it is already drying up. The second of apples, + some pears and plums, this one I will lay out in shapes today.
You can store cheesecakes in paper bags from flour and sugar, just recently I began to collect them according to the advice in one of the topics. And there are also foil-plastic bags from kg of grain coffee, when stored in them, cheese will smell like coffee for free. :-)

I made cheese from cake after juice. Have

Eh, Lena, where were you in the summer when I was driving so much juice. All the cake went into the compost pit!
If only next year not to forget, if, of course, the apple harvest will be the same as this year's.
There are 2 boxes of apples left, but so far the production of cheese has been suspended. There is nowhere to dry it. It's damp outside and cold in the house. I’m waiting for you to turn on the heating, or else 4 cheese has fallen from 6 heads, and I have hidden the rest.

there are also foil-plastic bags from kg of grain coffee, when stored in them, cheese will smell like coffee for free. :-)

Interesting! I'll take a note to myself, I don't throw away such packages either, especially if they have a zipper fastener. But I freeze in them apricots, apples, plums and pears, everything for baking.The presence of the aroma of coffee in such a fruit does not interfere, but rather aromatizes the baked goods. And the storage is convenient. But I didn't think of storing the heads of cheese in them.

[Nelya]

where were you in the summer

Nelya, I myself am surprised how I had not guessed to cook from cake.

happy Birthday!

Thank you)

here are the promised photos

Lena, it turned out superbly)

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, Lena .. what cheese!

[Galina]

Galina, change for your candy
All the cheese for even a tiny piece of your marshmallow !!!!

Hello everyone! Like many here, I fell ill with apple cheese)) I just liked the recipe, there were a lot of apples and a week ago I cooked the first two cheeses. They dried up quite well, springy, there is no trace of a finger, but today I discovered that one of them was about to "bloom". I sin on the bamboo sticks on which he dried. Rubbed with cranberry vodka. Has anyone encountered such a disaster? I've got four more pieces to dry. The houses were given heating, but it's still damp, maybe that's why the cheese "bloomed"? I read the whole topic, I remember someone wiped it with alcohol once a week.

[Yulia]

They dried up quite well, springy, there is no trace of a finger, but today I discovered that one of them was about to "bloom".

Yulia, no one wrote, if my memory serves me right, that the cheese has bloomed. Try paper drying and turning more often. It seems to me that he couldn’t use the sticks. He could, if the house is very damp or there is very little sugar. Although the girls cook without sugar at all.

I remember someone rubbing alcohol once a week.

Oksana rubbed someone else with a balm. Not prevent.

Angela, thanks for the answer! I'm not giving up, I'm making cheese again)) Today, at the insistence of the family, a sample was taken. I liked it very much. Decided to do a lot! My men said they would help cut apples (we have 3 more boxes of healthy ones). Today I will do it with nuts, before that I was limited to cinnamon. Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful theme!

Made the last cheese this season. With cocoa and ground coffee. It is already very cold here for ripening without forced airflow. And the dryer is busy with tea.
We eat so fast that next year I will start making from the very first apples. If only ugly

We eat so fast that next year I'll start with the very first apples.

We are not touching the cheese yet, I think we will start eating it only after the new year, NZ for the winter so to speak. Now there are still plenty of good fresh apples, plums and grapes, and there are still plenty of vegetables.

With cocoa and ground coffee.

Poured the powder into the applesauce and boiled everything? Coffee and cocoa together or separately?

[Radushka]

With cocoa and ground coffee.

Radushka, can you tell us more about cocoa?

She also put a carob in one circle (this is an analogue of cocoa), it is sweetish - I will treat a friend who is on a diet, does not eat cocoa and hardly uses sugar.
I'll cut a piece for myself, but it's too early
I also plan to do it with cocoa and fenugreek, I love it very much in cheese, suddenly I like it here!

Poured the powder into the applesauce and boiled everything? Coffee and cocoa together or separately?

Almost at the very last stage. I poured cocoa along with sugar (I boil it without sugar). The quantity ... I don't know. I had it in the package. I think more than 50 grams. But, the cocoa is of good quality. It looks like the Soviet "Golden Label". Twice for 4-5 minutes in the microwave at maximum with cocoa and sugar, and then ... a dessert spoon of ground coffee (medium roast) and once in the microwave. Yes! And also ... I add some salt to this "cheese". A little, but, by analogy with other sweets, I know that it is tastier when there is a little salt. Literally a pinch. And the coffee is ground into powder. How to brew in a cup

[Radushka]

I, too, tend to think that the last batch of cheese should be made "chocolate" for a change, without nuts and dried fruits, like the previous two.
Radushka, thanks, I will take into account your experience, and I will also sift the ground coffee through a strainer.

I added carob to one cheese, green cardamom to the other and tonka bean to the little one, put it to dry

Angela, thanks for the recipe. Here is cheese with hazelnuts. He is only two days old, but you can eat, the middle is a little soft. I almost cooked up the second batch. I put it in thinner forms, it is drying longer now, but it keeps the shape well, does not blur.

[Larissa]

Larissa, great cheese! Well done. Hope it gets dry

Found my message)
Month and week dries. On the grate under the hat. Cut only thin slices three times)
Is it time for the fridge? I want to cut it in half in the end, leave a part for myself, give a part to a friend of NG.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, if not sticky and springy, then you can.

Does not stick for a long time, but does not spring yet. Or already quite hard if you poke your finger

Has dried up already

Well, take apple-makers into the ranks. Since there are a lot of apples this year, I decided to cook this cheese. I cut it, covered it with sugar, stood for 1.5 days, cooked it, punched it with a blender. So far, everything is according to plan.
And then an ambush.
I don't have such large and round dishes for all the apples to fit in there, there is only a glass saucepan of 2.5 liters. I decided to halve the mass, cook in parts, and then combine at the last stage. Well, I started to cook in the microwave ... cooked-cooked ... cooked-cooked ... cooked-cooked ... in short, I twisted it for more than an hour for 5 minutes, 4, 2 each ... it thickened a little, but to the picture the desired one still needs to be twisted as much. And that's only half of the portion !!! I spat and gave up, and my husband swears at the constant beeping of the stove and the clicking of the door. Tomorrow it is necessary to further torture him, but how ??? Connect and boil in a saucepan or continue to rape the stove? It's a pity to give up halfway.

[svetta]

svetta,

Combine and boil in a saucepan

I made from apple cake, it turned out super.

svetta, look here.

[Elena]

Elena, I don’t use cake from anything, I throw it away without regret (they are empty for me). And my apples are juicy, they gave a lot of juice from sugar.
Well, okay, tomorrow I'll boil it down I will usevictory.

[svetta]

svetta, Lena Bratkovna wrote that she boiled in the oven. I'll try searching for it now.

svettaI boil on the gas stove in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over minimal heat.
If you don't have time to cook for a long time at once, you can turn it on for several days in a row, bring to a boil, stir a couple of times and turn it off. Only without a cover. During the cooling process, the mass "dries up" well.

No MV? In it, with the lid open, at the initial stage, the liquid boils well. You just need to stir occasionally.
And the girls did it in the oven. On a baking sheet so that the evaporation area is larger.



I went through my cheeses yesterday. They lie in a box on the kitchen cabinets. I’m afraid of something, they’ll dry up ... Maybe the balcony is better? It's damp and +5

rows of apple cheese makers.

Sveta, the girls have already given you a lot of practical advice. It takes a long time in the microwaves, but faster than on the stove. On the stove, you can boil for several days if there is no time. I have not tried it in the oven, but the girls do it with success.

Maybe the balcony is better? It's damp and +5

Wrap it up well and take it out so that moisture does not get in. The temperature is the same as in the refrigerator. Better wrap it in paper and a box.

I confess ... I didn’t do it until the stage at which the boiled lagged behind the gauze. just when I saw that it had become quite thick jam (without sugar), I added sugar, drove it a couple of times in the microwave (taking out, cooling, stirring when cooling) and put it in a forming container (I have an inner hole from a steam juicer) where- then for a day or two. During this time, the cheese had time to pack a little and it could be neatly "turned over" on a mesh for further drying.
The result of boiling was monitored by volume. at first two bowls are full, at the end one incomplete. My pancakes turned out to be not thick at the end. Probably, you can pour a thicker layer into a mold with a smaller diameter. But, I don’t have one, so ... maybe te, maybe. The main thing when boiling is to take out more often, let it cool almost and mix while cooling.Then the moisture evaporates faster

Finally, this boiling process is over and I just decorated the cheese and put it under pressure. Uffff, how long is it ...

[svetta]

svetta, in order to boil down faster, I first drained the juice (somewhere I saw advice here). and in a micra at 100% power for 10 minutes, it boiled down very quickly. the main thing is to mix!

[Margarita]

Margarita, I could not master the 27 pages of the topic, so I followed the direct recipe. Now I will gradually re-read what secrets there are.

[Angela]

I to boil down faster, I first drained the juice (somewhere I saw advice here)

what secrets are there

There is a danger of "draining" the pectin with the juice. About it Angela said earlier.

Angela, forgive me for getting in

I read the topic, admire the cheeses and encourage the apple tree-owners to this cheese. Already one cheese for the New Year is invited

[Sveta]

juice first drained (somewhere here I saw the advice).

I advised you to drain and boil the juice separately, but then add it back so as not to lose the pectin so much needed here. But do not clean up at all.

This boiling process is finally over

Now we are waiting for the cheese)

what fit

Svetawhat are you doing? Did you write about fried potatoes?

I bought apples to dry for winter compotes. I dried 4 cans, about 3 kg more remained. I will not dry it anymore, I remembered that we now respect compotes from the blender soup cooker)))
I'll make cheese even better. With cumin, most likely. Or with nuts, but no candied fruits. Right now I'll drink coffee, and I'll go to the balcony for apples))

And I tried one cheese from the first batch, or rather, my two pieces turned out to be thin, about one cm, I soaked them well with Taiga balm on one side, blinded them into one and put them in the refrigerator in a bag of coffee, now they "cut it" ... What can I say - tasty, interesting, but there could have been more sugar, I poured a glass of sand into two liters of mashed potatoes already boiled, + a glass of raisins, candied fruits and roasted peanuts. You could do without nuts, they are a little discordant in structure. For a change, you can add them, but in my opinion, you should not make all the cheese with nuts.
Leaves quickly, more needs to be done.

Leaves quickly, more needs to be done.

that's for sure! Well. if next year there will be such a harvest for apples again, then ...

another batch of cheese.

[Elena]

Elena, direct shop window! Such a variety)

[Elena]

Elena, have you tried it already? Which one did you like the most? When will I get ready ...

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, haven't tried it yet. As I try, I will say which one I liked more.

[Silyavka]

When will I get ready.

You can't get yourself together with the marshmallow, why are you going to try cheese here ..
Silyavka, Flax, what a wonderful cheese. Diverse ..

You can't get yourself together with the marshmallow, why are you going to try cheese here ..

: don-t_mention: I know, I know about this method of influence! But ... HOW will I get myself together! Yes, HOW I'll do it! The question is different - it would work
