Pickled cucumbers with apples

Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

The combination of apples and cucumbers at first glance seems impossible. In fact, the juicy but bland vegetable in tandem with apples turns out very tasty, tender and aromatic. Moreover, apples with cucumbers can be used not only in a salad, but also marinated. This gives the preparation an even brighter taste. For preparing the snack, it is better to choose sour and hard apples so that they do not fall apart during blanching.
