My girls also like apple sauce - but growing up I spoiled them . Unlike all their friends who would open a packet of sauce and immediately start devouring the contents - my little pumpkins wanted the homemade - real deal - so every so often I whip up a batch . Now that we have just enjoyed a wonderful apple season - what could be better than apple sauce made with apples from the orchards ( thank you for the contribution Kelly ! ) , fresh , unwaxed, crisp apples - it does not get better than that !
Preparations are simple , clean out the fruit bin of all the odds and ends of apples -I always seem to accumulate plenty
wash well , quarter and roughly cut out the core
place in saucepan with a cup of water
bring to a boil and simmer until everything is soft and mushy
by leaving the skins on the applesauce takes on a lovely pink/rosy hue
Allow to cool slightly then pass through a coarse sieve using a spatula , scrape all the goodness into a container , store in refrigerator and eat with abandon !!!
Enjoy on its own , with granola , and of course with roast pork and even roast turkey.
Please make some, you will never go back to the mass produced stuff again.
