Ingredients
Apple Pichi-Pichi
- 16 oz Grated Cassava If frozen please defrost first
- ½ Cup Apple Sauce
- 1 Cup Apple Juice
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ Teaspoon Lye Water
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

Instructions
- In a large bowl add in the cassava, lye water, apple sauce, apple juice, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Prepare your steamer basket by placing silicon baking cups or puto liners in the baskets.
- Pour in the Apple Pichi-Pichi mixture into each cup.
- Wrap the top cover of the steamer with a clean kitchen towel and fill your pan with at least 3 inches of water. Bring up to a boil and then place your steamer on top. Steam for 30 minutes.
- You know it is done when the Apple Pichi-Pichi is translucent. Leave to cool fully. To take them out of the silicon molds you can place them in the refrigerator to harden for a bit.
- Make the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing the sugar, cinnamon and optional gold sugar in a bowl.
- Un-mold the Apple Pichi-Pichi and coat it all over with sugar. Place on a plate to serve.
