Cooking For Beginner's- Homemade Applesauce

Hi Guys!!! For this blog post and for some blog posts in the near future I will be sharing recipes for people who are beginners at cooking/ who want to learn how to cook. The first recipe I will be sharing with you is homemade applesauce adapted from the pioneer women's original recipe. Are you ready to learn to cook.... Let's Go!!!

Ingredients: This recipe makes 12 servings
***The amount of some ingredients will vary depending on the serving size you are making the recipe for***

• Apples peeled, cored and cut. ( cut into slices or cubes) ( I used two medium-sized apples)
• 1 cup of apple juice, apple cider or water ( I used water)
• Juice of 1 lemon ( I did not use the lemon juice and it turned out fine.)
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar, packed ( you could substitute brown sugar for regular sugar. Brown sugar just makes it have a darker color.)
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Optional Ingredients: nutmeg, maple syrup, allspice, and butter ( I used nutmeg and a little vanilla.)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a pot
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 25 minutes
3. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth ( you might need to drain some of the liquid.)
4. Store in fridge or serve while it's still hot.
5. Enjoy!
