Homemade applesauce

Apples for sauce

Applesauce is a sweet delicious way to eat apples. Especially in the fall when the new crops are out. The apples have a crunchy sweet taste and that sweetness carries over into any apple dish like apple pie, or crisps or dumplings, I can go on and on.

A really simple way of cooking apples is making applesauce. Everybody likes it including the kids. You can eat it by itself, on ice cream, or bake with it. This is a good way to use up your fruit if you bought to many or went apple picking and brought home a ton of apples. Did that once and had way too many apples to eat.

Making the apple sauce

Peeled and quartered apples ready to be cooked

First you want to get some good apples then peel them. I always cut my apples in fourth after they are peeled, this makes it easier to cut out the core and slice them into pieces. The slices don’t have to be very thin because the heat will cook them down.

Sliced fresh apples

Adding apple juice to fresh, peeled apples

This is an easy peazy recipe to make. Now all you do is put the apples into a large pan, so nothing boils over onto the stove. Then add the apple juice, let them come to a boil and turn down the heat to simmer. Watch them because it can be don in about 10 minutes time. Just check the apples that they are all falling apart tender.

Steaming apple slices

Hot apple slices with cinnamon

When it is done just mash up the apples with a whisk. I leave it a little chunky because everyone here likes it that way. Then I add a little cinnamon to the apples and stir it in.  Sometimes the apples aren’t as sweet as you would like so I add some sugar a little at a time and taste it.
