Every fall we try to make it to Charlottesville to go apple picking at Carter Mountain Orchard. We made it up this fall and came back with lots of delicious apples and some caramel apple cookies. We ended up eating the apples but were thinking that we should make homemade applesauce at some point this season. This weekend we are hosting an early latke party to celebrate the holiday season. Many people traditionally eat latkes with applesauce so we decided to make some homemade apple sauce. It is even easier than I thought it would be and so delicious. Here is what we made:
- Core and chop the apples (no peeling required).
- Toss chopped apples into a pot with about an inch of water. Add cinnamon stick, cinnamon and sugar to taste (I used two cinnamon stickers and some coconut sugar).
- Cook on the stove over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until soft.
- Put into blender (we left out some of the liquid) and blend until desired consistency. *If you have an immersion blender, you can leave everything in the pot and blend with the immersion blender until its the right consistency.
