This creamy apple curry simmers a crisp Fuji apple in light coconut milk with curry powder, ginger, and turmeric. It's savory, mildly spicy, a little sweet, and ready in 30 minutes.
In a medium-large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and garlic. If they start to stick, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
Once the onion is translucent, add the diced apple. Cook until the apple softens, then stir in the curry powder, ginger, and turmeric until everything is well coated.
Pour in the coconut milk, then add the sugar, shredded coconut (if using), and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Bring the curry to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes
Cut the apple into bite-size pieces so they stay tender instead of breaking down into the sauce.
For a creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
I haven't tested freezing this curry, but it should work. Freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
