Hello Foodie Friends

This may sound intimidating but as soon as I made a batch of this once I could not believe how simple it was and fun to do too! Here's the quick and easy way to make a small batch of homemade applesauce that needs no special equipment and is just enough for a small quick batch. You don't have to be all into canning to try this but you just may take it up after you sample the homemade stuff. BTW I really like the Gala apples for this. I save my jonagolds for snacking ;)

Have you ever tried applesauce warm with cinnamon? Date I saw life-changing? Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

INGREDIENTS:
4 apples, peeled, cored, chopped into chunks
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbs. brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Place the apples in a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute. If you don't have either of these appliances, then just chop the apples by hand, very small. Place the apples, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan and stir to combine the ingredients. Cook on medium low for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool for 15 minutes. Store the sauce in a tupperware bowl or a jar in the refrigerator.

Yield: 2 cups of Apple Sauce

APPLE TIPS Don't wash apples until just before using to prevent spoilage.

Keep apples cool after picking to increase shelf life. A cool basement is ideal, but the fruit/vegetable drawer of a refrigerator will work, too. Kept cool and dry, fresh-picked apples will generally keep weeks, but it DOES depend on the variety. Red and Yellow Delicious apples do not keep well, for example; but Rome, do!
