I love homemade applesauce! I love how yummy it tastes and how easy it is to make (not to mention what a nice, fast baby food it is :) I was recently blessed with an abundance of free, very fresh, very bruised apples. So I thought I would walk you through how I make applesauce in case you've never done it. Sound good?

So first I chopped up the apples. I was trying to do this quickly because Evan didn't want me to chop apples, he wanted me to play with him. So I didn't so much "chop" as slice-into-fourths-peel-and-call-that-good :)
Here are the apples & about a quart of water. I cooked them for about an hour until it was all nice and mushy.
Then I added some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little apple juice (cause the apples I started with weren't very sweet). Now, if you like chunky applesauce, you can eat it like this. However, my boys don't...
So I used my smart stick to blend it into apple perfection :)
Yummy!
Mmmmmm! I love homemade applesauce. We usually can it in the fall...super easy and then we have it year round! We're having some tonight in fact.
ReplyDeleteI need a smart stick!! Applesauce looks great!
ReplyDeleteI should try this - my girls have been requesting applesauce lately, but I've been buying the canned version. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love my stick blender as well. I use it when I do applesauce. The last few times I just put all the apples in my crock pot and let it go all night. The smell was heavenly. :)
