Happy September! Life is slowly returning to normal after the start of the school year and our annual trip to Michigan for my husband's family reunion. While up in Michigan we were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with some of our favorite little (niece and nephews) & big (their parents) people at a local apple orchard. While munching on apples and watching my older nephew and niece scamper up the trees to gather apples for us, I was reminded just how dearly I love fall. The weather, the reintroduction of warm drinks, the fall food (pumpkin & soups....) oh, yes, I am now ready. If only my weather would drop about 25 degrees all would be well. :) Until then here's my 'recipe' for making homemade applesauce, just encase you find yourself at an apple orchard this fall.
Homemade Applesauce
10 (at least!) apples, cored, peeled if you want (I peel a few then quit) and diced
water or apple juice, your call
sugar
(I warned you that it's a not much of a recipe.)
Put the diced apples in a pan, add enough water (or juice) to cover the apples. Cook on medium until soft, this will take a while. Add sugar to taste (cinnamon too if you'd like). Mash,or blend with immersion blender to desired consistency. Enjoy! Freeze any that you won't use in the next week or so.
p.s. Happy 2nd Birthday to another favorite little person, our nephew Jackson!
Ohhhhh this sounds yummy! We use to go to Apple country every year when we lived in California..it was at the top of my list to do this year but we just don't have the time/money for it. Next year for sure! We use to go cherry picking too.
