Old-Fashioned Applesauce Recipe
Servings 4
Old-fashioned homemade
applesauce is one of the easiest and most delicious ways to enjoy fresh fall
produce!
Ingredients
4 lbs. apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
1 cup water, plus extra as needed
¼ cup packed brown sugar (back in the day they made this
from scratch: ¼ cup of white sugar and ¼ tablespoon of dark molases)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine all of the
ingredients in a large Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium-low heat,
stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and break down, about 30
minutes.
Pouring water and other
ingredients into a dutch oven.
In modern day we would use a
handheld immersion blender or a regular blender to create a smooth consistency,
however back in the day our elders would have used a potato masher and elbow
grease to puree the apples.
Taste and season with extra
sugar, if necessary. Add water to thin, if necessary. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
