I made this for the holidays, and it was truly the best applesauce I've ever had. The apartment smelled incredible while it was cooking! I used a mixture of Gala and Fuji apples, although any apples should be fine. Courtesy of . Ingredients:
5 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped |
1 lemon, juice & zest of |
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup brown sugar |
3/4 cup apple cider or 3/4 cup apple juice |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Bring all ingredients except the vanilla extract to a boil in a 6-qt. saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples start to break down.
2. Uncover and cook for a further 1-1 1/2 hours, or until the mixture has reduced by about a third and the sauce becomes thick and amber-colored.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve warm or cool.
