It's fall in New England, and that means apples galore! There's nothing quite like homemade applesauce, and thanks to the freezer, you can make huge batches of it and freeze it to enjoy the rest of the year! I store it in quart-sized ziplock bags...and by the end of autumn, I have at least twenty-something quarts of homemade applesauce in my freezer.
Unfortunately, I do not have a recipe written down. I chop up apples and fill my crock pot, add a little water, and cook all day. Then I add sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves to taste. That's all folks! Every batch tastes a little different. Sometimes I don't bother peeling and coring the apples - I just run the whole lot through a food mill when it's done.
Homemade applesauce is one of the simplest, most satisfying things you can make this time of year. Make this your year to try it!
