Being from New England I have always enjoyed making apple sauce from MacIntosh apples. But I’ve found using a variety gives a fuller flavor. Here is a favorite of mine.
Yeild: 2 -3 cups
4 Apples ( Rome, McIntosh, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious)
1 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1/2 Cup fresh apple cider
1/4 Cup light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Peel, core and cut the apples into large chunks, sprinkle with orange juice. Place apple chunks, cider, sugar and cinnamon into large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook with lid until apples are tender; about 15 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and remove lid letting the pot sit for 5 minutes. Mash mixture to desired coarseness. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Apple sauce will be good for up to five days.
Thanks for your comments and questions!!!
