Applesauce 101

My hubby and I made a batch of applesauce this afternoon. He peels and I slice. Max had a football game at five this evening so we had time for just one batch. We use gravenstein apples, apple juice for the bit of liquid, lots of simmering time, a potato masher and sugar and cinnamon to taste.
We'll need 2- 3 more batches before winter. My guys like the apple sauce. It is the freezer variety. We like it served with a pork roast, or with biscuits and gravy, or serve it with meatloaf. Applesauce is a good fill-in with dinner.
* Thanks for the pasta tips, we are going to try it. Sans the machine.

Your applesauce looks and sounds wonderful, Tami!

I just noticed that Honeycrisp apples were in at our grocery store yesterday. I bought some and sliced them in our salad last night with a Dijon/apple cider vinaigrette. They were delicious. I think they're grown up your way.

I'm so jealous. There is NOTHING better than real applesauce. :)
