When preparing minced meat for cutlets, the last thing we expect to see in the list of ingredients is apples, since the fruit seems clearly unsuitable for a classic meat dish.

However, this recipe is quite common.

Cutlets with apples, for example, are often prepared in the Caucasus, especially if fatty lamb is chosen as the main meat.

Why add apples to the minced meat?

These cutlets always turn out juicy, because apples help to achieve the desired result much more effectively than other food products.

With the addition of apple, the taste of any meat becomes brighter and richer, so the fruit is even added to minced chicken.

It is also worth remembering that using this component allows you to make cutlets less fatty.

It is best to choose sour varieties of apples, peel them, grate them and add them to the main composition of the dish. But sweet apples can contrast with the taste of cutlets, which does not have the best effect on their quality.
