Applesauce

This fall a friend and I went apple picking. I brought home my haul, peeled and cut them into slices and stuck them in the freezer for a rainy day. Well, I have today off and it’s raining, so… Applesauce!

My Mom’s Recipe

3-4 lbs. peeled, cored, quartered apples (I like a mix of varieties!)

1 -2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 c brown sugar

1/4 c white sugar

1 c water

1/2 tsp salt

(Mom did not use cloves in hers, but I always add a couple. Makes the house smell heavenly and adds a little more flavor to the sauce)

Place all ingredients in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat and mash. (I leave some big chunks in mine. With applesauce, warm and chunky is the way to go!) Serve warm or refrigerate.

Lasts 6 month in the freezer.
