Applesauce Recipe

In Ontario apples are pretty much everywhere during early fall! The orchards are full, and many people have them growing in their own backyards. 

We went picking in my parents back yard over Thanksgiving weekend & picked a big basket full! 

Realizing we could never eat them all before they spoiled I decided to turn some into Apple Sauce!

One of my favourite things about this Recipe is that once you have all the apples prepared you can pretty much walk away from it!

Apple Sauce Recipe 

 A variation of I found by The Pioneer Women
(Makes enough to fill two Mason Jars)

1/2 cup of light brown sugar 

1/2 cup of apple juice 

6-8 cups of chopped apples 

1tsp cinnamon / pumpkin spice (optional) 

Begin by Peeling The apples

Once Finished cut them into small chunks as shown in the photo below

(you can core them first or just cut the apples by hand avoiding the core)

Mix Apples, Brown Sugar, & Apple Juice (spices too if you choose) in a large Pot

Cook (covered) on the stove at medium heat for 30 minutes.

(will look chunkier than this I forgot to snap a picture before I started mashing!)

Depending on the consistency you prefer You can either Mash them with a potato Masher (like I did)

OR You can put them in a blender or food processor to get a smooth (chunk-less) texture!

Leave on the counter covered until it cools to room temperature - You can then transfer it into Mason Jars / containers for storage!

Great Alone with Oatmeal, On Toast or in baking baking to replace eggs, butter & Oil!
