Apple Curd Recipe

0 Peel, core and dice the apples. 
1 Add the apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water to a pot.
2 Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat over with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring throughout this time, until the apples are soft.
3 Remove from the heat and blend in a high speed blender until smooth. 
4 Pass the apple puree through a sieve to make a smooth curd, alternatively skip this step for a slightly more textured curd.
5 Return the apple puree to the pot and heat over a medium heat. 
6 In a small bowl mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp cold water.
7 When the puree has started to boil, add the cornflour and whisk until smooth. Reduce heat and cook for a further 2 minutes until thickened, continue to whisk to prevent any lumps.
8 Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before stirring through the vegan butter.  
9 Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
