SARAH'S APPLESAUCE

PERFECT, EASY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Use sectioned apple slicer to easily core and slice your apples (or do it by hand).
• Place apples, water and cinnamon sticks in a large, heavy pot.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
• Remove cinnamon sticks and process in batches in the Foley Mill (check out ebay or Ace Hardware for Mills). Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm topped with butter! Or eat cold from the refrigerator! Or warm topped with cinnamon sugar pie crust pieces! Or freeze for later use! So much better than jarred sauce!

PERFECT EASY MICROWAVE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Peel, core and slice the apples.
• Place apples in a large microwave-safe bowl.
• Add in 1/4 cup water, cinnamon (start with 1/2 teaspoon) and nutmeg, if using; stir to combine.
• Cover with heavy microwave-safe plastic wrap (leave a little side opened to allow steam to escape).
• Microwave on HIGH power for 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl and stir the apples, then contine to microwave uncovered until apples are very tender (about 5-6 minutes longer).
• Using a large fork (I use a potato masher for this) coarsley mash apples to desired texture.
• Add in sugar to taste while the apples are still hot; mix well to combine.
• Bring to room temperature and then refrigerate for up to two days, or freeze in plastic freezer containers.

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
