Apple Madness: Applesauce and Apple Butter

I grew up in Washington state and I only experienced Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith apples.  Red Delicious tasted the best to me with the crunch and the sweetness. As an adult, wow, have I been surprised with all the varieties of apples that are available year-round. When the kids were young, we decided to have an apple party. We went to the store and bought one of every kind of apple. Then we went home and made sure we didn’t get the stickers on the apples mixed up and had a delightful afternoon. We tried Pink Lady, Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Jonathon, Red Delicious, and Granny Smith.  We all decided that there were so many delicious apples, it was hard to pick just one. I took a pie baking class years ago and it was suggested to mix several varieties in the pie. I do this same philosophy when making applesauce. In my applesauce, I like to use the juicy apples to create a smooth applesauce. I also like to add a Granny Smith for a bit of punch. Enjoy this recipe… Our family likes it with ice cream, whipped cream, to use in my applesauce cookie recipe, and as a hot applesauce for breakfast.  Applesauce is wonderful. Try the apple challenge with your family and try to decide on your favorite variety. Along with applesauce, apple butter tastes so delicious on toast or English muffins. I have also included an applesauce oatmeal cookie recipe that is filled with whole grain goodness.  This recipe is easy and can make any size of pot of applesauce. For a larger batch of applesauce, add additional water. I like to make smaller batches so it can be eaten hot and fresh. When applesauce is cooled, place in jars and keep in refrigerator. Use within 1-2 weeks. If I am going to eat cookies, I want them to be healthy and healthy for my kids and grandkids. Here is a delicious recipe that can use that delicious homemade applesauce Enjoy the apple season with these delicious, easy, and healthy recipes.
