I feel ashamed that I am even posting this as a recipe because there really isn’t anything to it! However, I try and make some every year around apple season. I don’t get complicated with it, so I thought it was worth telling you guys just how easy it can be! I use whatever variety of apples are available when picking occurs. I always use organic apples because I leave the skin on, and apples are one of the most heavily sprayed crops. I like chunky applesauce when I eat because I like more texture. If you want smooth applesauce, you will have to peel them. I also don’t add any sugar…just some cinnamon!
Applesauce
Ingredients:
As many apples cored and chopped as will fit in my dutch oven (10 maybe)
spoonful of cinnamon
splash of water
Directions:
After taking the cores out of your apples and roughly chopping them, place them in a dutch oven or stockpot on the stove. Sprinkle in some cinnamon and add a splash of water to the pot. Place on medium high until the apples start cooking and then turn down to a simmer. Simmer until they are mashable. I use a wooden spoon to mash them up and then add it to jars for storage!
