Pretty in Pink Applesauce image

This homemade applesauce has a delicious, clear apple taste accented with a little nutmeg, a nip of lemon, and bit of cranberry juice . Use some of the apple peelings to make the applesauce nice and thick (and remember to dig them out before serving).

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 mcintosh apples
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Peel the apples, reserving the peels of 6 of them.
  • Quarter and core the apples.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil then reduce heat.
  • Simmer mixture until apples are soft and you can mash them down into applesauce, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove from heat and cool.
  • Remove peels from the applesauce and discard them.
  • Mash applesauce a bit more if you wish (I like mine a bit chunky), then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • If you like, you can make extra applesauce and spoon into sterilized pint jars, seal and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
