Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and you are ready to kick of a new year.
I recently made this for the co-op lesson I hosted which was on apples. It was a huge hit and I think I may can this next year as part of my Christmas gift baskets!
Homemade Applesauce
(Adapted from The Pioneer Woman)
6 pounds Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Cut Into 8 Slices
1 cup Apple Juice Or Apple Cider
Juice Of 1 Lemon
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
1 teaspoon Cinnamon, More Or Less To Taste
Optional Ingredients: Nutmeg, Maple Syrup, Allspice, Butter
Combine all ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
Carefully puree in a food processor or blender (don’t fill too full; split into two portions if needed) 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!
