If you are baking with this recipe, place a paper towel in a strainer, scoop in the applesauce and place over a bowl for an hour. This will remove as much water as possible. Or cook the applesauce longer to get a thicker type filling.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (1 medium apple = 1/2 cup applesauce)
- 1 cup water or apple cider
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core and cut up the apples (if you want the applesauce to be pink, leave on the red peels). Place them in a saucepan with cider or water, sugar and cinnamon.
Step 2
Boil gently uncovered, until the apples are soft enough to mash, about 40 minutes. Stir with a fork to mash, leaving a few small lumps.
Step 3
Return to low heat. Stir in butter. Simmer until melted. Beat briefly.
Step 4
Serve up or add cornstarch to thicken and use to make filling for a cake (especially Old Fashioned Stack Cake).
