For some reason, I kept seeing the paper "bag o apples" at the store..and I kept thinking it might be neat to get one of the bags and try my hand at applesauce.
So, I did.
I bought a bag of Cortland apples, peeled, cored and diced them up and threw them in a crock pot along with half a cup of water. I also threw in a vanilla bean from the very beginning…and turned it up to high for an hour or so…then back down to "low" for several more hours. I came back almost 5 hrs later…and they were PERFECT. I dumped the crockpot contents into a bowl, added some cinnamon as well…plugged in the mixer and mixed away.
Holy crap. It’s GOOD.
And I highly recommend trying it warm, it was just what I wanted this evening, and was really great with some whipped cream on it. I threw 2/3rds of it in the freezer, and the rest in the frig.
Definitely doing this one again.
