- 1 tbsp 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 80 ml 80 ml water

Preparation
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
- In a pot, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. Cover and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once soft, remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring the mixture to a blender.
- Puree the apple mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the ground hazelnuts and cinnamon until well combined.
- Return the mixture to the pot and reduce over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the spread thickens and becomes spreadable.
- Pour the warm mixture into a jar and let it cool before refrigerating. Use chilled.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the mixture longer after cooking. Taste before serving; you can add a pinch more cinnamon or a bit more lemon juice if desired. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
