Homemade applesauce

I love the Pioneer Woman (pioneerwoman.com; Food Network) and she never fails to make simple and delicious food. (Although not the healthiest, her kids are all bean poles. All that manual labor- love that too.)

She strikes again with this applesauce recipe. So EASY. Especially with an applecorer and my new immersion blender ($2 at estate sale).

Honestly, 10 min prep, 25 min on the stir. Serving with pork tonight!

• 3 pounds Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Cut Into 8 Slices
• 1/2 cup Apple Juice Or Apple Cider
•  Juice Of 1/2 Lemon
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, Packed (or my brown sugar substitute white sugar and molasses)
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, More Or Less To Taste
•  Optional Ingredients: Nutmeg and Allspice

Preparation Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.

Carefully puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
