Homemade apple sauce
Recipe by Courtney Glantz
2 large navel oranges, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 pounds Granny Smith apples (about 6 to 8 apples)
3 pounds sweet red apples, such as Macoun, McIntosh, or Winesap (about 6 to 8 apples)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Throw in a cinnamon stick or two, if you have them
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large dutch oven.
3. Peel, quarter, and core the apples (reserving the peel of 2 of the red apples) and toss them in the juice.
4. Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and allspice and cover the pot.
5. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until all the apples are soft. Remove and discard the red apple peel.
6. Mix with a whisk until smooth, and serve warm or at room temperature.
