Ah fall, you are in full swing and I'm loving it. Steven and I went to Apple Fest in Lebanon last weekend. There were apple fritters, caramel apples, apple pies, apple cider, apples by the peck or half peck among many arts and crafts. It was a beautiful, yet warm day, and we enjoyed the sights and smells. There is something about apples and fall, it just feels like it's officially here!
We brought home a half peck of Johnathan apples. They are red with some gold running through them and great for cooking. I made some old fashioned apple sauce with these beauties. Ground cinnamon, ginger, and allspice are paired with fresh sweet tart apples and cooked down until they break apart. Make and eat this apple sauce for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Here's how...
Ingredients - Makes 3 Cups
6 Medium Sized Red Apples, peeled, cored, & chopped
1/2 Lemon, juiced
1/4C Brown Sugar
1tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2tsp. Ground Ginger
1/4tsp. Ground Allspice
Pinch of Kosher Salt
Directions
Reduce the heat to low, cover, & continue cooking for another 30 minutes. Stir and mash the apples as they cook down to create a sauce.
Remove the apple sauce to a bowl and cool. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate. Bring the smell of fall into your home and keep the doctor away. Enjoy!
