CORY SCHREIBER'S APPLESAUCE



Cory Schreiber's Applesauce image

This recipe can easily be made in larger batches for the freezer. This is from Portland chef and cookbook author Cory Schreiber's wonderful cookbook, "Wildwood - Cooking from the Source in the Pacific Northwest." If you have a good source for fresh, seasonal apples, consider making large batches of this wonderful sauce and storing in the freezer. And although this recipe produces a puree, the sauce can be left chunky by not putting it through a blender at the end of the cooking process. Happy first day of Autumn!

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (original recipe calls for 1/4 cup undiluted orange juice concentrate)
2 tablespoons sugar (can substitute agave, honey, etc.)
3 whole cloves
2 star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed (crushed lightly in a pestle and mortar to release the oil)
3 large flavorful apples, such as Braeburn, McIntosh (or a combination of apples) or 3 large golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and chopped (or a combination)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, orange juice (concentrate), sugar, cloves, star anise, cinnamon and fennel.
  • Bring to a boil, immediately reduce heat, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes to reduce the liquid by half. Strain the liquid into a heatproof bowl to remove the spices.
  • Return the liquid to the pan and add the apples. Bring back to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool.
  • In a food processor, process the applesauce until smooth.
  • Serve warm, or let cool and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For long-term storage, pack into freezer containers leaving 1" head space and freeze (for up to 12 months without the sauce suffering in quality).

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

After tasting the pure apple flavor of this homemade sauce, you just might never go back to the store-bought kind. Supermarket applesauce can be loaded with added sweeteners and flavorings. We use only a little sugar, plus lemon juice, salt and cinnamon, providing a balanced flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.

Time 1h35m

Yield about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds assorted apples, such as Golden Delicious, Gala, Honeycrisp or McIntosh (about 8), peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
  • Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLESAUCE



Old-Fashioned Applesauce image

We had all kinds of apple trees in the yard when I was growing up, so I don't know for sure which ones Mother liked best for applesauce. (Today I use Cortlands.) I do know that her applesauce was very white. The secret, she said, was to keep the apples in salt water while she peeled them so that they wouldn't darken. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa
