The weather here is cooling off, and there's almost a chill in the air. Makes me want apples. I've had this applesauce recipe bookmarked for future use for a while now. This morning I decided today would be the day to do it.
But I said "screw the recipe" and just kind of winged it. How hard can applesauce be?
1. buy (or pick, I guess) a bunch of apples. I bought eight. Four Braeburn, four Pink Ladies.
2. peel them and cut them into chunks. throw away the cores and peels.
3. Dump Pile-O-Apple-Chunks into the crackpot.
4. Turn it on. Walk away. Carry about your business.
I had mine on "high" and in about 5 hours the apples were soft and broken down enough to just kind of melt when I stirred them. (This will make your house smell delicious, by the by.) I left a few little chunks in mine because that's how I roll.
Result: it's delicious. Eight apples made about 1/3 of a crackpot full of applesauce. It's tangy and sweet at the same time, very yummy.
My Opinion: this is good, but cutting up all those apples is kind of a pain in the ass. My son eats applesauce all the time (Mott's) but the adults don't, so unless I'm feeling extra fall-y, like this morning, I doubt I'll make this again. But it was good.
