I never thought about how one makes good apple sauce until several people who were helping me with a dinner asked how I made it. I have to say I was surprised I thought everyone knew how to make apple sauce, but not so: this is why I am giving this simple but great recipe out. Remember, most canned apple sauce is rather bland but if you have to buy any, make sure its at least chunky. Try this recipe and let me know what you think ENJOY
INGREDIENTS:
4 lbs of delicious apples, peeled, cut in half and then cut into wedges as if you were using them for an apple pie.
1 cup of brown sugar
3 to 4 tab of cinnimon
2 cups of water or apple juice
1 potato masher
DIRECTIONS:
1. pour the water or apple juice into a large soup pot
2. add the apples and cook them on moderate heat
using a defuser ( a defuser is a pie shaped double
metal full of holes on both side that you can only buy in a well
stocked hardware store for only about $4 or so and which will
prevent the apples or any sauce from burning)
4. put a cover on the pot and check it every few minutes until it
gets hot and the apples begin to soften; (each time you look at
the apples stir them
5 once the apples begin to cook in ernest, add the dard brown
sugar and cinnimon and stir them in until incorporated
6. as they get even more soft and begin to melt together you can
now mash them with a potato masher until they look like apple
sauce (if not sweet enough add a little more brown sugar; if too
sweet (whoops)
7. this recipe will serve 10 or more generously
