Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into quarters.
Place the apples in a medium saucepan. Add the water, sugar, cinnamon, and whole cloves.
Cover and gently simmer over medium-low heat until the apples are tender but still hold their shape, about 15–20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow the apples to cool slightly. Remove and discard the whole cloves.
Transfer the softened apples to a bowl and gently mash them with a fork, leaving some small pieces for texture.
Stir in the red currant jam. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Serve the stewed apples with cottage cheese or farmer’s cheese. Drizzle with a little fruit juice if desired.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Serving Suggestion This traditional-style apple dish works especially well with white bread, brioche, or toast. For a more dessert-like presentation, it can also be topped with whipped cream or fresh berries.
