One/Change

We bought a beautiful box of apples from our farmer’s market a couple of weeks ago. The box above was round two of our splurge on local, crisp, sweet, Fall Apples. Unfortunately we were not able to make our way through them as quickly as our first and they began to loose their wonderful texture and rich flavor. So, on Sunday night Kendall and I made a double batch of applesauce. One with cinnamon and one without and both are delicious! It took us a leisurely 35 minutes from start to finish and was so easy.

Ingredients:

• 9 medium apples, peeled, quartered, and cored
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar (I would imagine that you could substitute honey for sugar. I think I will try this next time.)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1. In a large pot combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover, simmering for 8-10 minutes or until apples are tender, adding more water if necessary.
2. Remove from heat. Mash mixture with a potato masher, food processor, or blender to desired texture.
3. Serve warm or chilled. We stored our in some glass food storage containers and have been adding it to oatmeal, eating it with lunch, and as a snack or dessert.
