Apple puree made from Antonovka apples is a true embodiment of Russian culinary tradition. Antonovka, known for its rich sweet-sour taste and aroma, is perfect for making puree that impresses with its depth and brightness. Baking the apples adds softness and highlights their natural sweetness, while the addition of mustard creates an unexpected spicy note. Olive oil makes the texture delicate, and salt and sugar perfectly balance the flavor. This puree can be served as a standalone side dish to meat dishes, used as a base for sauces, or simply enjoyed for its refined taste. Simple to prepare yet exquisite in its gastronomic qualities, it can surprise and delight even the most discerning gourmets.
