So over the Labor Day weekend, we woke up on Saturday and decided to go apple picking! We found a place that was only about an hour and a half away from the house which was totally doable for us.
The orchard we went too was on the side of a hilltop completely secluded and just marvelous! We picked two bushels of apples!
Luckily you don’t need to go apple picking to make this recipe! All you need is a bag of apples and you are set!
People keep asking me what am I going to do with all of these apples! Well I have a long list of recipes I want to make! These apple cinnamon sticks, apple waffles, apple compote, and apple blondies.
How To Make The RECIPE:
This recipe consist of 4 ingredients. Takes about an hour to cook and you will have applesauce for days! I just peeled my apples, I love using my OXO Good Grips Apple Slicer to slice my apples then added them to a pot with water,sugar, and cinnamon sticks. When it was done cooking we mashed them up, cooled it off and it was ready to go! My husband suggested we make this and I am so glad he did! Even my 15 yr old son who does not eat store bought applesauce said he could definitely eat this!! ENJOY!

There is no reason that freezing should change the integrity of this recipe. I am going to try it.

I have frozen homemade applesauce. It works very well.

How long did it last in the freezer?

I haven’t gone apple picking, but I would love to! I think if we go north a little towards Napa there is a place. You’ve inspired me to look into it. Then I can make this tasty applesauce with our apple loots 🙂

That is so easy! I love it! My kids are not huge applesauce eaters, and so I rarely think about it. But I love it.
