Sweet Cinnamon Applesauce

"Two kinds of apples plus cinnamon and brown sugar make this applesauce unique. This recipe was modified from a basic one found in an old home canning cookbook. You can mash the apples up more or less during cooking, depending on what texture you prefer. Jars of this make a great gift, and it could double as a pre-made pie or pastry filling. It's quite labor-intensive, but the result is worth it!"

directions

  • Prepare jars, lids, and rings; be sure they are sterilized.
  • Peel, core, and slice apples into large chunks. If necessary, place in a bath of water and lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • In a heavy pot, cook the apples and butter over medium heat until the apples begin to soften. Be sure not to burn the butter!
  • Once apples are soft, continue cooking while mashing them with a potato masher. Gradually add the remaining ingredients, and continue mashing until the mixture reaches the desired texture. If you like fewer chunks, you could put it through a ricer or food processor.
  • Turn the heat up and cook until boiling.
  • Place in jars, being careful to keep rims clean. Process for 10-15 minutes in boiling water.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

While losing weight and getting into shape, I've spent a lot of time modifying old recipes to be healthier, and developing a few of my own in the process. I've been cooking most of my life, and I can all of my own jams and pickles. I like to find cheap, low-quality cuts of meat and turn them into something gourmet. I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay, Alton Brown, and Mario Batali. I've been trying to learn about wines and pairings.
