Source of Recipe

From "The Canning Kitchen" by Amy Bronee


Recipe Introduction

"My grandmother used to make me homestyle applesauce with brown sugar and cinnamon, and it was better than any candy childhood had to offer. Enjoy this sauce in packed lunches, use in baking, or grab a spoon and enjoy straight from the jar when no one's looking."

List of Ingredients

◦ 8 pound saucing apples, such as McIntosh or Golden Delicious
◦ 1 � cups water
◦ � cup brown sugar
◦ 2 � teaspoons cinnamon


Recipe

Remove and discard the apple peels and cores.

Coarsely chop the apples, adding them to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Pour in the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the apples are fully broken down. Remove from the heat. Smooth the sauce with a masher, if desired. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Ladle into five clean pint jars, leaving �-inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes.

Makes 5 pint jars






❧ Tip:
If you like your applesauce less sweet, reduce or even leave out the brown sugar. Or, if you like it sweeter, add a little extra.
