Fuji Applesauce
So, I was hosting a small dinner party last week and I needed a quick dessert to serve with carrot cake and ice cream...so I decided to try my hand at making some applesauce. The nice thing about this one, is that you can start cooking it first and let it do its thing while you prep other dishes. Here is the recipe.
Prep/cook time: 30 min/1.5 hours...total ~2 hours
Materials:
6-8 Medium/large Fuji Apples
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1-2 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
1/2-1 tsp ground gloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1 cup water
Methods:
Peel the apples (if you prefer smooth sauce) and remove the cores. Chop apple into 1 inch cubes and place in large (at least 6 quarts) pot...preferably cast iron or similar. Add remaining ingredients and place over medium heat until the apples begin to soften and the mixture starts to boil. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer covered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Monitor liquid levels constantly--too much water can make for soggy sauce, too little can turn into a sticky mess. Mash the applesauce with a potato masher, and cook uncovered until the desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately, or allow to cool. Enjoy!
