How to Make Apple Barley Pudding

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  2. Add 1 cup of barley and 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the apples are soft.
  4. Drain any excess liquid. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the blended mixture to the saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Chill for at least 1 hour for a colder dessert, or serve warm as a comforting breakfast.
  8. To serve, add a dollop of cream or plain yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy!
