Homemade Applesauce

About two weeks ago my older (I always like to remind her of that) sister came to visit me in Northern Virginia.  Since the Fall weather had began to kick in we thought that there would be nothing better than some good old apple picking!

Greg Apple Picking

Although the plethora of fresh apples seemed like a blessing at first . . . it has slowly become a burden.  After making everything from homemade Apple Butter to homemade Apple Wine . . . Greg and I would like nothing more than to have our fridge back!

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away . . .   I think we're good :)

I decided to use some of the apples by making homemade Applesauce.  (Yes, it's 10 million times better than the jar stuff).

Here's what you need:

• 5 Apples
• 1/4 cup of Sugar
• 3/4 tsp of Cinnamon
• 3/4 cup of Water

1)  Wash, Peel and Core the apples.  (Probably the longest part)
2)  Cut apples up and place them into a sauce pan.

3)  Add water, sugar and cinnamon to the saucepan.

4)  Turn the saucepan on to medium heat and place a cover on the saucepan.
5)  Let saucepan simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes.
6)  After 20 minutes remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
7)  After cooled, place the applesauce in a food processor and blend till you reached the desired consistency.
8)  Enjoy your homemade applesauce!
