Apple Season

It's apple season so I made some apple sauce. I know this is not very exciting but it is all I had to post today!


I bought some local Granny Smith apples. I like a tart sauce so if you want it sweeter, use a sweeter apple.


Put 2 cups of apple cider in a heavy pot and peel your apples.


Place a cinnamon stick in the cider and bring it to a boil.



I added 2 tablespoons of pumpkin honey.


And 4 tablespoons of brown sugar.


Chop the apples in uniform pieces and add to the boiling cider. Add 3 tablespoons of brandy.


Cover the pot and let boil for 15 minutes or so until the apples soften.


Add 6 tablespoons of butter. Mash it with a potato masher.


Easy applesauce! I serve this with my Oktoberfest food.

I have been catching up with your posts,, I smiled when you said you were going to get the gun,, thats so funny, ( to shoot squirrels) my Dad in his 80's sat in an old cahir in the back porch with a hole in the screen door for his gun barrel and shot squirrels,, ( I know, don't judge him) he was a man of the land.When you said that I just thought of him,, he would have loved you!!

I have to look for pumpkin honey, it just sounds like autumn to me. I usually use Macintosh for sauce and Grannys for pie. Yours has lots of good flavor, I am sure. xo

I've often wondered if Granny Smith was good for making apple sauce! I've never used apple cider either so this I must try!

have a great day!

I think applesauce is exciting. And I love the chunky kind like this. This would make a fabulous filling for Fried Apple Pies.

I LOVE applesauce. In all the years I've made it, I've never used Granny Smith apples. Going to try it. Sounds good.

P.S. Living in Southern California. Very little wild life. I read your post about...SQUIRRELS.
Just saw one a month ago. One. Just one.
A new little apple tree in the back yard. Tiny apple...growing...turning red..
GONE! Where we said!! Where did that tiny apple go? Looked at your pumpkin...YE GODS!
That ...little critter is no longer welcome and now we know where the tiny new apple we were so proud of went.
HELP!!
NO LONGER PLEASED TO SEE THAT SQUIRREL...
