Last Wednesday I had to take a sick day just so I could sleep. After 2 weeks of Nutcracker on weekends, high school during the day and violin students in the evening, I was fried.
On Wednesday afternoon I finally used the bag of McIntoshes I'd bought at the Whole Grocer and cooked up a batch of sauce. Here's my current favorite method:
Pink Applesauce
Quarter and core a bag of organic apples (Cortlands are my favorites).
Throw into a pot and add a little water just so the ones on the bottom don't burn.
Cook until the skins separate from the fruit (this doesn't take long).
Fish out the skins with tongs and put in the blender.
Blend up the skins and the pulp clinging to them.
Return the skins to the pot and stir everything together.
This yields a batch of kind of chunky sauce with smooth peels. Yum!
