Making applesauce– recipes?

I add red cinnamon candies to some batches and we eat that with Pork roast. ??

If you can, though, the most ‘useable’ thing to do is to core, peel and slice into slices and can them whole. Can be used in pie, upsidedown cake (just like pineapple upside down but use the apple slices), cobbler, drained and stirred into hot cereal, etc.

We also use apples in with the stronger berry jams – like blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry etc to extend and it just made the flavor of the jam a little bit milder.

We have an apple press, too, and usually can about 50 qts of apple juice, it is very old – my parents got it from our grandparents in the 60s.. Still works like a champ.

Most applesauce recipes call for boiling the apples. But in this applesauce recipe, the apples are roasted. It brings out the apples’ natural sugars, caramelizing them as they cook. This apple sauce only needs a touch of honey to make it sweet and delicious.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Peel and dice apples into 1-inch pieces. The more uniform the apple pieces are, the more evenly they’ll cook.

Toss apples with remaining ingredients. Spread out in an even layer on a sturdy baking sheet or shallow roasting pan.

Roast 10 minutes. Stir. Roast another 5-15 minutes until apples are soft enough to mash lightly.
