I made this homemade applesauce the first time I made Thanksgiving dinner for my family. Everyone loved the addition of cranberries and walnuts. Ingredients:
1/4 cup dried cranberries |
1 tablespoon brandy, optional |
3 pounds tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
1/3 to 1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine cranberries and brandy if desired; set aside. Place the apples in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 2-3 tablespoons cooking liquid.
2. Place the apples in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Gradually add reserved cooking liquid until applesauce reaches desired consistency. Return all to the saucepan.
3. Add brown sugar and cranberries. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Stir in butter until melted. Serve warm or refrigerate until serving. Just before serving, stir in the walnuts. Yield: 4 cups.
