Wanted to use up old mealy apples and ended up with a scrumptious, almost dessert-like creation! I adapted this from an internet microwave apple sauce recipe and the Joy of Cooking's french apple sauce recipe. Funny thing is they both called for sugar, but I don't think it needs it. Ingredients:
6 small apples or 3 big apples (i used old fujis) |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel, core and cut apples into small chunks.
2. Place in microwave safe casserole dish with butter and cinnamon.
3. Cook uncovered on high 10 minutes (stir a few times).
4. Let it cool a bit (I'm impatient so I only wait like 3 minutes).
5. Put the apple mixture in the blender (or food processor I suppose) and puree until smooth.
6. If you prefer it chunky, leave out some of the apples and add them to the puree.
7. Or if you want a compote, don't blend it at all.
8. This is yummy as is, but if you enjoy a hint of vanilla, then go ahead and add a dash.
