Apple Sauce

Ok, apparently last time I went shopping for fruit I got totally screwed was unlucky. Gala apples, 5 lb bag, mealy as heck. No one would eat them. They were starting to turn brown in my fruit bowl. My kids aren't big apple sauce fans, but I didn't want these things to go to waste. So apple sauce it is!

Wash the apples. Soap & water, people; rinsing isn't enough when you're a germaphobe


Peel them, but save the skins


Core and slice


Back to the peels--the most nutritious part of the apple. Add some apple juice and blend it up


It doesn't look so good now, but who wants to waste all that fiber? 


 Cinnamon, sugar, and peels


Stir and cover


 It starts smelling really good after a couple hours


After another hour or so you can blend it up, or just cook it longer to get the same results, I'm impatient


Now you have a kid friendly snack


Store in the fridge, it will keep for a week or so

  • 8 large Apples
  • 1 cup Apple juice or water
  •  1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

  1. Wash, core, and slice apples. Add juice, sugar, and cinnamon.
