Although summer is my FAVOURITE season by far -- I must admit I love autumn because of all the wonderful baking and cooking I do.
There are quite a few recipes listed on my blog - and I often actually end up using the blog as a recipe book (the other day I made my favourite 'healthier choice' chocolate chip cookies and looked it up on here because I couldn't remember all the ingredient list!
Here's my latest recipe for apple sauce. It's a big batch, but we're hoping to make applesauce muffins with some of it and might freeze some too.
Keri's Easy Apple Sauce
20 apples, cored and peeled, cut into eighths
About 3 cups of water (less if you like thicker sauce)
3/4 cup of organic cane sugar
cinnamon to taste (we used 4 cinnamon sticks)
Once the apples are all cored and peeled and cut, put into a large pot.
Pour water in. For thicker sauce, try 2 cups instead.
Bring to a boil for 20-30 min or until apples are mushy. During this time, you can add the cinnamon sticks. I did it about 1/2 way through the cooking time.
Take off heat and add sugar. Stir it up well.
Let it cool.
You can mash it with a potato masher, or put it through a sieve. I borrowed by dad's vegetable mill and put it through that way (similar to a sieve with a turning handle) because I like it less chunky.
Easy as that! ENJOY!!
AND if you're short on time and want to do it in 2 sittings - cut up all the apples one day, drizzle with lemon juice to keep from browning, put it in the fridge and make the sauce the next day (That's what we did!)
