Hi Moms, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My son is asking to make applesauce today and I would like to find an easy and yummy recipe for us to make! I'd like to make a stove top recipe. Thank you for any ideas!
Cut up some apples. Put a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan (make sure the apples won't burn - for 8-10 BIG apples I probably use less than a cup of water). Boil for 10-15 minutes. They'll start to get all soft and mush all on their own.
It is seriously one of the easiest things I've ever made and I don't even buy applesauce anymore.
I make mine in a slow cooker. I peel, core, & cut up about 10 apples, put them in with about 1/2c of water and a little sugar (up to 1/2c) and a little pinch of cinnamon. I let it sit there all day until it's the consistency that I like. It's super easy and it tastes great.
I make the fastest, easiest, yummiest (according to my daughter). You will need about 4-8 apples depending on the size (peeled and core removed), 1/4 cup of white sugar (or less according to taste), 1/4 cup of brown sugar (or less according to taste), one stick of cinnamon (you don't have to especially if you think he won't like it, it just adds a nice flavor and it's good for him), and a squirt of lime juice. I just boil the apples (water should cover the apples) with the cinnamon. You will know they are ready when you stick a fork and it goes in easyly, about 20 minutes. Throw them in the blender, add sugar, and lime juice. Blend and voila!
Note: if you don't have brown or white sugar, just use either one, it's fine. The kind of apple you choose is up to your taste. Your son can help too! Have fun!
