i don't like apples. i actually like some apples - the soft kind. maybe the mealy ones? i'd eat a mcintosh. but regular apples that others always say are delicious... i can pass those up.
so i decided to make applesauce today, which is a little weird since i don't like applesauce much either. but i like it more than apples, and i've literally eaten one piece of the pie i made six days ago. also, applesauce can be used instead of eggs or oil in some recipes, so its good to have some around. i used to buy the little four ounce cups because they wouldn't spoil in the fridge because they were so convenient for baking, but it seemed wasteful.
to make applesauce:
basically, i peeled & cored the seven apples i had been glaring at since tuesday, and put them in my soup pot with a bit of water and a dash of salt, brought it to a boil, lowered the heat, and ignored them. a while later i went to stir them and they had basically turned into apple sauce. i let it cook a bit because it was a little watery, then took a potato masher to them. the resulting applesauce does not need sugar and is fairly delicious. yay.
i am going to actually try to eat this applesauce. but i might measure out some half-cup sized portions and stow them in the freezer, in case i need them.
