Introduction
Cooking the apples in the oven and then running them through a food mill makes for a easy, hands-off way of making applesauce. I opt for less cinnamon, allowing more apple flavor to come through, but if you prefer more, by all means adjust the amount. This applesauce makes a delicious dessert when served warm; you can also serve it for breakfast with buttered toast and a hot cup of black tea.
Ingredients
| ½ | cup apple cider or juice |
| ¼ to ½ | tsp. cinnamon |
| ~ | Pinch of ground cloves |
| ~ | Zest and juice of 1 lemon |
| ¼ | cup brown sugar |
| 8 | apples, washed and quartered |
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large roasting pan, mix together all the ingredients. Cook about 30 minutes, until the apples are soft and fall apart when pressed with the back of a spoon.
- Transfer everything into a food mill and purée, scraping the fruit from the bottom of the mill into the bowl that catches the applesauce. Discard the skins/solids that stay behind.
