How to Make Apple Glgi

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 kg (2.2 lbs) peeled, cored, and chopped apples, 1 liter (4 cups) apple juice, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, 1 star anise, 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste), and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Pour into a clean, airtight bottle or container.
  5. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  6. When ready to serve, gently reheat the mixture until warm. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and apple solids (optional).
  7. For an adult version, add 1-2 shots of Calvados or brandy per serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
