Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

4 large apples preferably Granny Smith or other tart variety, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting
1 teaspoon smoked chili powder adjust for spice level
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups vegetable broth preferably low sodium
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to brighten flavors
Optional sour cream or yogurt for serving, optional

Equipment

Chef's knife
Large Ovenproof Pot or Dutch Oven
Blender or immersion blender
Wooden spoon

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread sliced apples on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with smoked chili powder and cinnamon until evenly coated. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted apples to a large pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until velvety, then return to the pot.

Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor, and adjust seasoning with more chili or cinnamon if needed. Warm the soup gently, but do not boil, for a few minutes.
Taste and adjust the spice levels, adding more chili for heat or cinnamon for sweetness as desired. If the soup is too thick, thin it with a little warm water or additional broth until reaching your preferred consistency.
Pour the hot soup into bowls and, if desired, garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for added creaminess and a cooling counterpoint to the heat. Serve immediately while warm and fragrant.
