| Ever wonder how to make homemade applesauce? It's easy and kids love it, (so do adults) Pare 4 or 5 large apples, (any kind will do, but Macintosh is best for cooking) Slice apples, place in microwave safe dish with lid, I use a glass casserole dish) Cook for 4 minutes, check, if not cooked add another 2 minutes. (add a little water, not much) Remove from dish with a slotted spoon, (some apples get too watery. Place apples in blender, hit blend, (this is a preference, I like my applesauce smooth, some like it chunky, adjust to your preference. Also, the amount of sugar to add depends on your taste and the brand of apples. Mac's tend to be a little sour so I add about 4 Tablespoons of sugar, and it that's not enough you can always add more when you serve it.. Place in bowl, and when it's cooled put in cinnamon. Serve or if you want to freeze in just place it in freezer bags or containers, omit the cinnamon it can be added when you serve it in the future. |
