That is how the first serving gets eaten at my place, standing at the stove, before it has even had time to cool. Homemade applesauce tastes nothing like what comes in a jar: darker, more fragrant, and you taste the apples instead of the sugar. Five apples, twenty minutes, and the house smells like pie without you having made any pastry. You will double the batch next time.<\/p>\n
Half a cup to start, and you add more if it catches. This is the one part of the recipe where you watch instead of follow. Over medium heat for twenty minutes, even covered, it boils and it genuinely evaporates: what is left in the pot at the end has nothing to do with what you poured in. You cannot get this wrong for long. Too thick, add water. Too loose, uncover and let it reduce.<\/p>\n
I eat it plain, with a spoon, straight out of the container. It goes in my muffins and in my yogurt in the morning. It freezes without any trouble, so one big batch in September when apples are at their best sets you up for winter. This is the kind of base recipe that ends up getting used ten times more than you expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
