Fondant Apple Bricks Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized apples
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Begin by peeling and coring the apples. Cut them into small chunks and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Add the apple chunks to the saucepan and stir until they are coated in the sugar mixture. Cover the pan and let the apples cook for 5-7 minutes or until they turn slightly soft.
4. Remove the cover and let the mixture cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the apples have turned into a thick sauce-like consistency.
5. Add cornstarch to the apple mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time and keep stirring until the mixture thickens significantly. (You may not need to add all of the cornstarch). Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
6. Once the apple mixture has cooled down, divide it into small brick-like portions using a cookie cutter or a mold. Allow the bricks to dry for at least 3-4 hours or overnight at room temperature.
7. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the brick-shaped fondants to add some sweetness and texture.
8. The Fondant Apple Bricks are now ready to be served!

Verdict:

The Fondant Apple Bricks are a sweet and delicate treat for those who appreciate natural flavors and textures. These bitesize brick-like fondants are soft and chewy from the inside, and crunchy from the outside due to the powdered sugar coating. The cinnamon and vanilla flavor adds a comforting touch to the apples. Serve them alongside tea or coffee for a delightful and healthy dessert.
