This is the best time of year to get fresh picked apples from the farmer's market. A good friend of mine gave me this great applesauce recipe that is easily customizable. It goes great with potato pancakes or as a side dish for your favorite fall recipes. When picking apples you want to pick the ones that soften well when cooking such as McIntosh, Cortland, or Empire. Stay away from the Red Delicious and the Fuji varieties (Granny Smith doesn't do too well either). This recipe shouldn't cost you much at all especially when apples are in season and it tastes great and is better for you than the store bought varieties (and cheaper too!)
Ingredients:
4 medium apples
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
water
Directions:
1 - peel and seed apples. Chop roughly.
2 - put apples in small saucepan and add just enough water to cover. Stir in sugar and cinnamon.
3 - cook uncovered and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples break down and soften, stirring occasionally.
4 - Mash up some of the apples as they soften, depending on how lumpy you want your applesauce.
