Seasons Best- Homemade Applesauce
Homemade applesauce is one of those things that makes you wonder, after you whip up a batch, why more folks don’t make it.
It truly is one of the easiest and most delicious treats-snacks-condiments-ingredients you can make from scratch, and it doesn’t take much time at all.

Preparation Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
2. Carefully puree in a food processor or blender (don’t fill too full; split into two portions if needed) until smooth.
3. Store in the fridge and serve by itself, over pork chops, over ice cream, over pancakes…or any place where applesauce is needed
Just a few ideas you can do with your homemade applesauce-
* Substitute apple sauce for the oil in many baked goods. It’s a healthy choice, baby.
* Spoon warm applesauce over vanilla (or caramel!) ice cream and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. To die for!
* Make regular French Toast and top with a big spoonful of applesauce.
* Eat a small bowl of chilled applesauce for breakfast, or as a side dish for lunch or dinner.
