THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE



The Best Homemade Applesauce image

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.

I love this recipe, because it tastes fantastic and doesn't involve slaving over a hot stove! I found it in the "Apple Lovers' Cookbook" I picked up at a local farm market. I like to add about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, too!

PERFECT, EASY APPLESAUCE

A farm-girl friend of mine taught me how to make applesauce about 10-years ago, and recent trips to a local orchard brought all her teaching back to me. This can be made with a food processor, but I love the way the Foley Food Mill separates out the peel and strains to sauce to the perfect consistency. I think it is a must have kitchen utensil that can be passed from generation to generation! I choose Empire apples because they have a perfect texture for sauce and the sweet-tart taste I love! (If not using the Foley Mill, I suggest peeling and coring before cooking. You won't have to pick out the peels later then. You can either use a food processor or just a potato masher depending on how chunky you like your sauce)

Categories     Apple

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 empire apples (medium to large)
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons artificial sweetener, such as splenda

Steps:

  • Use sectioned apple slicer to easily core and slice your apples (or do it by hand).
  • Place apples, water and cinnamon sticks in a large, heavy pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
  • Remove cinnamon sticks and process in batches in the Foley Mill (check out ebay or Ace Hardware for Mills). Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Serve warm topped with butter! Or eat cold from the refrigerator! Or warm topped with cinnamon sugar pie crust pieces! Or freeze for later use! So much better than jarred sauce!
