When I was simmering some apples in white wine, I was suddenly inspired and came up with this recipe. Lemongrass adds a refreshing lemony flavor even without lemons; plus, it changes the apples to a light, bright golden color. Serve this as dessert after a Christmas dinner.

Even people who can't drink wine can eat this, so serve as an elegant party dessert. As long as the apple slices turn translucent, you can shorten the cooking time. Recipe by Jikana

  3. 30 gramsLight brown sugar (or white sugar)
  4. 1five 5 cm long pieces Lemongrass

  1. 1

    Cut the apples into 8 wedges each and peel (or cut them into any size you like.) Put them in one layer, if at all possible on the bottom of an enamel pan.

    Cut up the lemongrass, and put into a fillable tea bag. (The lemongrass here is homegrown).

    Add the wine, light brown sugar and lemongrass to the pan. Simmer for at least 15 minutes over medium-low heat.

  4. 4

    I just finished one bottle of wine, so I opened another. I used a mixture of Suntory Delica wine and a German wine. Both were around 300 yen each.

  5. 5
  6. 6

    Try using equal parts of white and red wine to simmer, the color will be somewhere in between.

  7. 7

    If you add cloves and cinnamon, it will take on a delicious aroma.
