APPLESAUCE

 

Celebrate Apple season with this delicious easy Homemade

Applesauce recipe. It's packed with the warm flavor of

 cinnamon and the freshness you can really taste.

It takes just a few minutes to prep and it's ready in about 40 minutes!

My truck just pulled up with a bunch of fresh Apples.

Apple season is usually in early Fall, with most Apples ripening in

mid- September and into November. However, the exact

timing can vary depending on the type of apple,

weather and the orchard.

Peel and core about 8 of your favorite Apples.

Cut the Apples into small chunks.

In a large Green Dutch Oven add...

1/3 cup of water

1/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon of salt

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Tumble the Apples into the pot and give it a good mix.

Now off to the stove to cook down.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce heat slightly.

Be sure to have a Rooster keeping a close eye on the pot :)

Toss in a few Cinnamon sticks for extra flavor.

I got a boil going right here!

You could almost drink the juice these Apples make.

Cover and cook 30 minutes or until the Apples are tender.

Have a taste to make sure the Apples are tender 

but don't burn your mouth!

Mash the Apples with a potato masher until the Applesauce

is the desired consistency. 

I like my Applesauce chunky :)

Mash Mash Mash....

I just love my Applesauce Hot, Warm or Cold.

Please have a bite.

Applesauce in cute Mason Jars were perfect

surprise gifts for a few of my friends.

Enjoy!

P.S.

Applesauce is great alone or on....

This is the hardest part of making Applesauce.
