vegetarian Recipe: Applesauce

Sure you could just buy it at the store, but homemade applesauce is one of the all-time great treats.

Yield 5 cups
Time 1½ hours
Tools
  • knife
  • apple corer
  • large, non-reactive pot
  • long-handled wooden spoon
  • colander or vegetable mill with large wholes (optional)
Ingredients
  • 5 pounds apples*
  • 3 c water
  • 2 t cinnamon
  • 1 t nutmeg
  • 2-4 T brown sugar or honey
Directions Wash, quarter, and core the apples, then place in pot with water and spices. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, stirring frequently, for 1½ hours, until apples are soft. Add 2 T brown sugar, taste, and adjust seasonings.

If you would like to remove the skins, place some of the applesauce in colander or vegetable mill and push through.

Serve warm or cold.

Notes *You can use all a single variety of apples or an assortment - just make sure they are fresh and flavorful.
