Products:
First you need to prepare the jars - wash them well. It is not necessary to sterilize.
Do not rub the apples too much when you wash them. It is enough to rinse off the dust.
We observe the main conditions for soaking apples - they must be whole, not broken, removed from the tree. For pickling (fermentation) in jars, choose medium-sized apples.
We put apples in jars - larger ones on the bottom, and smaller ones on top
Prepare the filling for soaking apples:
Add 5 liters of cold raw water
1 heaped tablespoon of coarse salt
200 g granulated sugar
2 -3 table. spoons of honey
Mix everything thoroughly until completely dissolved.
Then fill the jars with apples to the top with this filling.
The apples in the jar should be packed tightly and completely covered with this filling. Please note that apples will actively absorb it during the fermentation process.
Cover with regular iron lids.
Pour the rest of the filling (small) into a jar and put it in the refrigerator. We will still need it. During fermentation, the apples will absorb the filling and it will need to be added from this jar from time to time.
We place jars of apples in deep containers - bowls, pans or basins. During the fermentation process, the jars will “leak” and this liquid will just be poured into these cups.
Leave the apples in the jars for 5 days at room temperature to ferment.
Then we remove the metal covers, close them with nylon covers and send them to a cold place - to the cellar for storage and “ripening”.
In 1-1.5 months the apples will be ready!
Pickled apples are surprisingly tasty with a delicate aroma of honey. Mmmm, lovely!
Yield of the finished product: 3 liter jars – 3 pcs.
If you ferment apples in plastic barrels, be sure to take into account the fact that plastic must be food grade and nothing else! This quantity of products is designed for a 50 liter plastic barrel.
Products:
Remove the apples from the tree, let them sit for 2-3 days to “ripen the characteristic aroma”
Wash them and let the water flow.
Steam rye straw with boiling water and let stand for 20-30 minutes (to prepare sourdough)
Line a plastic barrel with a plastic bag for pickling (if available). If not, then without it.
Lay it in layers, counting from the bottom:
1 layer - steamed straw
2 layer apples to the middle of the barrel
3 layer straw
4th layer apples almost to the top
5th layer of straw - the topmost.
Preparing the filling:
Place sugar, salt, mustard powder in cold water
Mix everything well until completely dissolved.
Take the barrel to the cellar and fill it with our filling. If you lined it with a bag, first remove as much air as possible from it and tie it, then close the lid. If you just soak the apples in a plastic barrel made of food grade plastic, then place a plate or lid on top of a slightly smaller diameter and place pressure on top so that the apples are completely immersed in the brine.
Close the barrel with a lid and leave the apples for a month to ferment.
In a month and a half soaked Antonovka V plastic barrel will be ready.
If there is no rye straw, take 200 g of rye flour and dilute it in water along with salt, mustard and sugar.

Preparation
To clean three liter jars lay the apples, sprinkling them with blackcurrant leaves.
Pour 5 liters of cold water, not boiled, into a saucepan. You can simply pass it through a filter, or take spring or well water.
Pour water, salt, sugar, stir well until completely dissolved.
Fill the apples to the top with the resulting brine. If you still have the brine, pour it into a jar and put it in the refrigerator, then add it to the jar. The apples should be completely immersed in the filling.
We close the jars with ordinary nylon lids and leave for 4-5 days at room temperature, the fermentation process will begin, so the brine will become slightly cloudy. This is normal - don't worry. The brine level in the jar will decrease because... apples will actively absorb it.
After 5 days of staying in the room, you need to send them to ripen in a cold place - in the cellar. If the apples are not completely covered with the filling, you need to add water or brine (if there is any left).
We send it to the cellar and in a month and a half the apples will be ready! Delicious, juicy, aromatic pickled apples are made using this recipe.

It is better to ferment apples and cabbage in a large container - a 10 liter saucepan or an enamel bucket.
If you do not need such a volume of finished products, then feel free to reduce the amount of products given in the recipe, but do it proportionally - divide everything by 2 or 3 depending on the need.
So, the products:
Wash all products thoroughly,
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater
Select apples that are whole, not broken, not wormy, and small in size.
Chop the cabbage with a knife or shredder - as you prefer.
If you like it thinner, cut it thinner or thicker, but still not too coarse.
Place the cabbage in a deep container, for example an enamel basin or on any surface.
Mix with grated carrots, add salt.
Remember the cabbage a little, it will become slightly transparent and will release juice. Don't overdo it or the cabbage will be soft instead of crispy. Sprinkle with sugar and stir
Take a bucket or deep pan and place apples, cabbage and carrots in layers. Fill the space between the apples with cabbage and carrots
Compact the layers thoroughly with your hands. Place the apples so that you can pierce the cabbage between them wooden stick so that the gases produced during fermentation are released.
And so on to the top.
The top layer should be cabbage, quite thick.
Once again, compact the cabbage and apples thoroughly.
We place a plate or a wooden circle on top and place pressure on it. A jar of water is just right. The capacity of the jar depends on the amount of cabbage and apples. If you are fermenting a whole bucket, you can take a 2 or 3 liter jar as a pressure.
Now we put this entire structure in some container, because... During fermentation, the juice will “run away” from the bucket.
Leave at room temperature for 4-5-7 days. When a characteristic sour smell appears, everything will be ready. Cabbage is usually fermented 2-3 times at room temperature, but we also have whole apples here.
As with sauerkraut, you need to release carbon dioxide, which is formed during fermentation, once a day by piercing the cabbage with apples to the bottom with a wooden skewer.
Taste and add salt or sugar if necessary.
During the fermentation process, pour the escaping cabbage juice into a jar and put it in the refrigerator, then add it to the cabbage before sending it to the cellar, when the oppression is removed
Close the container with a lid and put the soaked apples and cabbage in the cellar or refrigerator for 2-3 weeks to ripen.
Remember that the brine must cover the cabbage completely. If it is not enough, add chilled boiled water.
