Applesauce!

[mysteryowl]

How do you like your applesauce? I have a bowl of honeycrisp (organic) ready to be peeled, cut up and put into the pan.
I like a little cinnamon and maybe a little stevia.

1. I love mine icy cold. I even freeze it in the summertime as a "treat."

[mysteryowl]

2. Wow, I have not know of that.

Worth a try!

5. i can't even remember the last time I had any

and whenever it was, it was almost certainly a cup of Mott's.

I bet yours is better.

6. I would love to try making some

We stopped eating the store bought because we couldn’t find any without high fructose corn sugar.

10. It is sooooo easy to make your own.

Within 10 minutes the apples are simmering.

Happy sauce making!

7. Try tossing a handful or two (to taste) of those little cinnamon "red hot" candies in while sauce

is simmering. Gives cinnamon flavored plus deep pink color.

8. I love mine chunky, like they sell at

Costco. Gf makes it just like that for me.

11. I did use a potatoe masher, but it is still slightly chunky

I don't use a recipe, and it works every time!

9. Love Applesauce..in fact, I usual keep a jar of MOTT'S on the shelf..and one in the

refrig., my go to recipe, usually this time of year....Martha Stewart...looks complicated..but it isn't...I just don't do complicated..so many of her recipes are...

I mix 3 large granny's and 3 large red delicious...(I would bet Honey Crisp would be good too)
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups apple juice
1/2 tspn cinnamon
1/4 tspn nutmeg
1/8 tspn cloves...

cut apples to 1 1/2 inch pieces (peeled and cored), cook low heat with sugar and 1/4 cup apple juice -stir once in a while 50-60 min...mash to break down large pieces ..(if apples get too dry, add 1/4 cup apple juice at a time as needed)..once cooked remove from heat, whisk apples until smooth..then stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves..

The most time consuming is always peeling and coring....

Always a hit.....

12. That looks complicated to me.

Mine is very simple and fast and goooood
No sugar. No apple juice. I can see how the apple juice will increase the volume.

I use stevia and the sweetness of the apple comes out as it simmers. If you use a crock pot and simmer the apples for a few hours it is really sweet and flavorful. I am impatient and use a pan with a little water, apples peeled and cut up small so they cook fast add a little cinnamon and Poof!

So easy.

Regardless, welcome to the applesauce club!!

Maybe Sunday breakfast with the freshly made applesauce for the potato pancakes.
