Homemade Apple Sauce
A simple childhood favorite becomes a rustic, autumnal dessert when Homemade Apple Sauce is paired with gingersnaps and our 5 Year Aged Cheddar. This warm and comforting recipe will be something you look forward to every apple season!
What You’ll Need:
1/2 to 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups of a variety of peeled apples, cut into chunks (about 5-6 apples)
1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat. Using a potato masher, gently crush the apples. Leave some larger chunks for a more rustic texture.
Let cool slightly before serving or storing in the refrigerator.
