A taste of history, the Croatian Apple Sauce is a delectable recipe that has stood the test of time, dating back to 1888 and the culinary expertise of Marija Kumicic. I've made a few modern tweaks to the original, omitting the sauce veloute and substituting honey for sugar, an age-old Croatian sweetener. This delightful sauce brings a touch of Croatian heritage to your table, harmonizing perfectly with pork or poultry roasts.

Relish the sweet and savory symphony of apples sautéed in rich butter and dry white wine, infused with the warm embrace of cinnamon. As the apples soften, they transform into a velvety purée, the perfect accompaniment to your favorite roasts. Serve it cooled on room temperature, a testament to the enduring legacy of Croatian cuisine.

Step-by-step

    • Peal the apples and cut them into 1/8 parts.
    • Melt butter in a pan, add apples and wine.
    • Sauté it until apples become soft enough to mash them into a purée.
    • Just before mashing in, add honey and cinnamon.
    • Mash the apples.
    • Serve cooled on room temperature with pork or poultry roasts.
