This recipe makes about 4 cups.
- 4 apples, such as Gala, Red Delicious, Golden...green apples will give you a much tarter sauce.
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (adjust depending on the sweetness of your apples...some don't need any sugar added at all. You can also add more as you're making it.)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- juice of one lemon
- handful or dried cranberries to garnish (optional)
- Thinly slice and dice the well-washed apples (I don't peel them as most recipes call for and it always turns out great.)
- Put all ingredients in a pot and combine well. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot.
- On medium heat, simmer the apple mix until softened, about 15 minutes. Add more water if needed. Mash the apples with a potato masher (the back side of a fork will work too) and simmer an aditional 5 minuites.
- If you want your applesauce to be supper smooth, pass it through the blender or food processor and then through a sieve, discarding chunks. Peeling the apples also makes it smoother.
- Serve hot or cold.

What a lovely blog! Your photos are amazing (and mouthwatering). I totally linked to your blog from mine.
And I've found a great use for the giant bag of apples I bought yesterday!
