1. Homemade Apple Sauce made on the stove
Ingredients:
- About 2 pounds of any variety of apples (I prefer to combine different kinds) peeled, cored, and diced into
small chunks
- A splash of apple juice or
apple cider (optional)
- Cinnamon, more or less to
taste
Combine all ingredients in a large pot, including about 1/4 cup water. You don't want to cover the apples with liquid completely. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low (it should reduce by about half).
If you like your apple sauce chunky, just stir and mash with a spoon. If you prefer apple sauce to be smooth, take the apple sauce off the stove and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Store in the fridge and serve by itself, over pork chops, over ice cream, over pancakes, or any place where applesauce is needed. It's particularly tasty mixed in with oatmeal!

see my Instagram http://instagram.com/p/fYOk-QBaZM/
Ingredients:
•3 lbs mixed apples (I used Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Golden
Delicious, and Gala)
•1/4 cup water
•1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
•pinch of salt
•1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
•1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
•pinch of ground cloves
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Peel, core and cut apples into eighths. In a large mixing bowl, combine
the apples, water, brown sugar, salt, and spices and mix well. Place mixture in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Roast
apples until they are very soft (30 to 40 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool slightly then
process to desired consistency in a food processor (or with a potato masher).
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. This applesauce should be refrigerated in an
airtight container and used within 5 days. Great with roast pork loin.
