Cosmic Crisp® Apple Pudding

Cosmic Crisp Culinary Challenge Logo

Recipe by Jenny Dorsey, winner of the 2022 Cosmic Crisp®️ Culinary Challenge in the Professional Chef category!

“I thought that it was a great use of the Cosmic Crisp® apple in different ways — both raw and cooked. Using a hollowed out apple as a bowl for the ice cream and then topping it with apple PUDDING that looked like a caramel apple… Whaaaaaat? Genius and inventive!”

– Carla Hall, Chef and Cosmic Crisp® Culinary Challenge Judge

Not your childhood applesauce 🍎🍑⁠ Peaches found their perfect match in Cosmic Crisp®. No added sugar, just two fruits at their peak & simmered down into a naturally sweet & lightly spiced sauce. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
🍎 4 Large Cosmic Crisp® Apples, Diced⁠
🍑 24 Oz Frozen Peach Slices⁠
🍋 1 Lemon, Juiced⁠
💧 3/4 Cup Filtered Water⁠
⁠
Directions⁠
1. Add all ingredients to a large pot. Cover with a lid and place over medium heat.⁠
2. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently until the fruit has cooked down & is soft all the way through. A fork should easily pierce an apple. If the mixture is bubbling too much, reduce the heat to medium-low.⁠
Add everything to a blender, working in batches if needed. Blend until completely smooth, then pour back into the pot.⁠
3. Place back over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to cook down/thicken a bit more. This step is optional but recommended.⁠
4. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.⁠

Cosmic Crisp® said oxidation? Never heard of her 🍎🧬 ⁠
⁠⁠
Cultivated with naturally higher levels of sugar & acidity, this helps make the apple incredibly slow-to-brown. Translation? No sad brown apples ever 👏⁠
