Apple pastille

Cut the ripe washed apples into small pieces, put in a saucepan, pour a little water and, with continuous stirring, cook. Then wipe them through a thick sieve, squeeze the mash, and cook the resulting juice until thickened. Pour in sugar and, with continuous stirring, bring to thickening. Then you can add chopped nuts. Put parchment paper, slightly greased with oil, on a baking sheet and smear hot pastille on it. Slowly dry the apple pastille in a moderately warm oven. Roll the well-dried pastille without paper and fold it into a clean jar.
