I didn't want all the apples to go to waste, so I decided to make them into applesauce. Since I don't have any of the right equipment to make it, I had to do it the hard way. It wasn't too bad, (my hand is cramping as I type) I did all the peeling, coring, and cutting with a knife.
1. I first washed the apples by cleaning out my sink, filling it with water, and placing the apples in it.
2. I cut each apple in quarters, cored them, and peeled the skin.
3. I boiled some water, threw the apples in and cooked them till they were nice and squishy.
4. I used the cheese grater attachment on my food processor to chop up the apples.
5. I then placed the chopper attachment on the processor and dumped in some cinnamon and mixed it up.
6. I didn't make enough to justify canning it, so I placed it in tupperware containers and froze it.
Baby loves it!
Yummy. Honeycrisps are great. Have you tried Ginger Golden apples? Those are pretty danged good too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them....I'm on mission to find them! Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI just made and canned applesauce! My mother-in-law bought me the best sauce maker (it does tomatoes too) several years ago. All you have to do is quarter the apples, soften them in boiling/simmering water and process them through the sauce maker. No messing around with peeling or coring or anything! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteHoneycrisps are our all time favorite. I'm going to try finding Ginger Golden apples. Never even heard of them!
