It also means lots and lots of apples. Apple pie, applesauce, apple cider, whatever your little heart desires to do with that apple. I love all apples, all types, so I was very excited when my sister-in-law gave me two grocery sacks full of apples when I saw her last week.
She may, or may not have smuggled some from her city park.
I don't care where they came from because they are good! One is more of a golden delicious, while the other one is very sweet...not really sure what type it is. I used both in this applesauce over the weekend and it turned out great. We've already eaten through two batches, so I'll probably be making more today!
Homemade Applesauce (1 batch)
4-6 apples
1/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1/2 t. cinnamon
Peel and dice apples, and put into a large pot. Add all ingredients and stir. Place on medium high heat to reach a low boil. Cook for 15-25 minutes, or until apples are tender.
Let cool, then mash with potato masher to your desired consistency. Keep in fridge for up to a week, or freeze for later eating!
Not only is this very simple and tasty, but it makes your house smell great! Forget those scented candles or air fresheners, these apples work even better.

ReplyDeleteMade a double batch last night for dinner and it was a HUGE hit. So much so, that we hit the farmers' market today to buy enough apples to make another double batch. Now 6 neighborhood kids are hovering in my kitchen asking me when it will be done. I've created monsters!
