Basic Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put water and apples in pot.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low. Simmer approx 25 minutes, or until soft -- stirring occasinally.
• Slightly mash apples. Add sugar, cinnamon and all spice.
• Mix well, and let simmer about 5 more minutes.
• If you want a smoother texture sauce, pour into a blender, and Puree until desired texture.

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large saucepan, combine apples with the cinnamon stick, sugar, and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (If sauce begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more water.)
• Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Stir in lemon juice.

Steps:

• Cut apples in quarters.
• Peel and core the apples.
• Put apples in a bowl of cold water.
• Cut apples into slices.
• Put them in a saucepan with the water and a tiny pinch of salt.
• Cover and simmer gently till apples are soft.
• Add sugar (depending on how sweet you want the sauce to be).
• Simmer well to melt sugar.
• Cook down sauce.

Steps:

• Throw the apples, apple juice and lemon juice into a pan and bring it to the boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir through the sugar and mix until melted. Add the cinnamon and stir through.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor, blender or food mill. If not using right away, leave to cool and then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples (reserving the peel of 2 of the red apples) and toss them in the juice. Pour the apples, reserved apple peel, and juice into a nonreactive Dutch oven or enameled iron pot. Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and allspice and cover the pot. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until all the apples are soft. Remove and discard the red apple peel. Mix with a whisk until smooth, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Use sectioned apple slicer to easily core and slice your apples (or do it by hand).
• Place apples, water and cinnamon sticks in a large, heavy pot.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
• Remove cinnamon sticks and process in batches in the Foley Mill (check out ebay or Ace Hardware for Mills). Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm topped with butter! Or eat cold from the refrigerator! Or warm topped with cinnamon sugar pie crust pieces! Or freeze for later use! So much better than jarred sauce!

Steps:

• Combine apples, cinnamon stick, lemon juice, salt, and 1/4 cup water in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean and add pod. Cover pot and cook over medium-low heat, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon and checking to make sure apples are not scorching (add a splash of water if they are), until apples are soft and falling apart, 35-45 minutes. Uncover pot and let apples cool slightly.
• Working in batches, pass apples through food mill fitted with a medium disk into a large bowl; discard solids. If sauce is watery, return to pot and simmer over medium heat until thickened.
• Do Ahead:
• Applesauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
