McIntosh Applesauce

The season is relatively short for McIntosh apples - though I've seen some in stores lasting through February and March (but those are the ones that have been in cold storage)  Get 'em while they're at their peak -- and make this applesauce!

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds McIntosh apples peeled, seeded and cut into 1" dice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 2-4 tablespoons water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Into a medium saucepan, add the apples, brown sugar, lime juice and water. Cover the pot tightly and heat to boiling.
  2. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5-8 minutes, until apples are tender.
  3. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse 3-4 times to desired consistency. If you like it chunky, process it less -- or for uber-smooth -- pulse a few more times.
  4. Serve chilled, warm or at room temperature.
