<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/h2>\nBaked Applesauce<\/h2>\n
5 tablespoons water
1\/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh if possible
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 pounds apples – cored, peeled and sliced<\/p>\n
Mix water, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add in apples and stir well to coat them. <\/p>\n
You can use a dutch oven if you have one, or just a standard cake pan. However, if you are going to use a cake pan, cover the cake pan with aluminum foil, and then place on a baking sheet. <\/p>\n
Place the apples in a pre-heated 375F oven, and bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Stir once, midway through cooking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. <\/p>\n
Now.. you can do a few things here.. <\/p>\n
1. You can put the apples through a foodmill, or pulse a couple of times in a food 2. Using a potato masher (like the one right), just mash the apples. I like this method, because …. I don’t have a foodmill, nor a food processor, and I do like the texture of the apples this way. <\/p>\n 3. Leave them alone — don’t mash or puree them. <\/p>\n You can keep this refrigerated for up to 3 days, or freeze in an airtight container for about one month. <\/p>\n You can leave out the brown sugar, if you are so inclined, or use the Splenda Brown Sugar substitute, which is pretty good. <\/p>\n Serve this warm over ice cream – vanilla is good, but it also is great with chocolate. <\/p>\n Make an applesauce milkshake — use 1 cup of chilled applesauce and 1 cup of milk, mix well in your blender and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was in the mood tonight for something sweet, and having a bunch of apples left, I decided to make applesauce.
