The weather has been just perfect! It's been cool now for the past two days, no humidity, finally. The leaves are changing color and falling everywhere. I love the Autumn, and I love the smells of Autumn, makes everything feel so cozy. One of the smells of Autumn is homemade Apple Sauce. I wonder sometimes why we buy the jar, making Apple Sauce is so easy, but the jar is very convenient, and we do live in a busy world. I do wish we could all go back in time when everything was at a slower pace, and we had the time to "put up" several jars of Apple Sauce. Perhaps some day I will, anyone care to join me, or should I say show me?
Apple Sauce
12 apples peeled and cored and cut up into chunks
1/2 cup sugar or more if you want it sweeter
1 TBS cinnamon
2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
In a big sauce pot, add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple cider. Cook for 1 hour, the apples will break down and look chunky and saucy. Taste it, what does it need? Is it a little sour? Add some sugar, do you want more cinnamon? Continue cooking until the apples are all broken down in to a chunky sauce, you may want to use a potato masher if you want it smoother, or put them in a blender after cooking, but we like ours on the chunky side. Serve it warm, or chill if you like it cold. Will last in the frig for about 2 weeks. Enjoy!
