Description

If you love smooth perfect pre-made applesauce, you don’t need to try this. This is lovely, rustic comfort food at it’s best. It simply tastes like autumn and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on those cold stormy nights.

Ingredients

  • 8 whole Apples, Braeburn
  • 5 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
  • Butter

Preparation

Remove the skin of the apples and cut them in quarters. Put them in a pan with a shallow layer of water (about 2 centimeters) on medium heat. As soon as the water boils, turn the heat down low. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes or untill the apples have completely fallen apart and formed a thick mixture. Don’t forget to keep stirring so it doesn’t burn and add extra water if it the sauce thickens before all the apples are completely dissolved.

When it’s almost done, add the sugar and cinnamon and stir together well. I use quite a lot of cinnamon, but you can add as much as you like of both the cinnamon and sugar.

Now for the secret trick: add a tiny bit of ground nutmeg, about the size of the tip of a knife, and a little nub of butter.

Take the applesauce off the stove and put it in a bowl. You can either let it cool down and preserve it, or eat it hot with, for instance, vanilla ice cream. It’s heavenly!

For a real autumn-y feeling, I recommend adding raisins and dried cranberries at the end (make sure to let them stand in a bowl of hot water for 15 minutes) and, if you like, a little bit of pumpkin spice, too.
