Persian Apple Dessert

Wash, peel, and core the apples, then cut them into thin slices or small cubes depending on your preferred texture.

Place the prepared apple pieces into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over them.

Add the lemon juice over the sugared apples and toss gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.

Add a small pinch of salt to the mixture and stir well to combine, allowing the salt to enhance the sweet and tart flavors.

Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest at room temperature so the apples release their natural juices and the sugar dissolves into a light syrup.

Stir the mixture once more, then taste and adjust the balance of sugar, lemon juice, or salt to your preference.

Transfer the prepared apple dessert into individual serving glasses or bowls, spooning the accumulated syrup over the top.

Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to one hour for a chilled and refreshing presentation.
