What could be simpler than applesauce? You would think this is easy, but many recipes make it complicated, adding water, lemon, white and brown sugar, and/or salt. This recipe is very basic, but very yummy!
This will make enough for two for dessert, or as a side dish to a pork chop dish or roast. If you would like more, just increase the number of apples and the amount of the sugar and cinnamon to your own taste.
Applesauce
What could be simpler than applesauce? You would think this is easy, but many recipes make it complicated, adding water, lemon, white and brown sugar, and/or salt. This recipe is very basic, but very yummy!
Ingredients
- 4 apples - I prefer Macintosh, but you can choose your favourite cooking apple
- 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon - or to taste
Instructions
- Peel and core the apples and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Place in medium saucepan. Sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste – I like a fair amount of cinnamon). Add the brown sugar and stir.
- Put on a burner on simmer, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes (depending on the apples) stirring every five minutes or so until the apples are soft and can be broken down with a fork.
