Anyone who know me well knows the one food I HATE more than anything is cooked apples. Just the thought alone sends shivers down my spine. Apple sauce, apple pie, baked apples, ugh. My husband says this makes me un-American.
So here's the dilemma. We have a million pounds of apples from our farm share. We have shared them with family and friends but there are still too many left behind. So for Calvin, because I love him, I am making him some homemade apple sauce. I hope it's good, because lord knows I will not be trying this one myself.
Applesauce
18 apples
1 lemon
1 cup of water
1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of Agave (or sugar is fine too)
Place the juice of one lemon and a cup of water in a pot. Peel and chop the apples.

| This is clearly the most annoying part... |
Place the chopped apples in the pot.
Add cinnamon, a pinch of salt, agave and stir.
Place on medium high heat and bring to a boil.
Then turn the heat down and let the mixture summer for about 20 minutes. Blend with a hand blender, food processor or food mill. Let the applesauce cool before storing.
