2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cloves
3 cups applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream

  • Stir together the doughnut crumbs with the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Stir the vanilla into the applesauce. Taste and adjust seasonings on both if desired.
  • Working in layers, first take 1 cup of the crumbs and spread along the bottom of the baking dish. Spread over it half the applesauce then evenly top with another cup of crumbs. Add the remaining applesauce and finish the layering with the crumbs.
  • Pour over the crumbs the butter then evenly top with the brown sugar.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks are formed.

Time 1h35m

Yield about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds assorted apples, such as Golden Delicious, Gala, Honeycrisp or McIntosh (about 8), peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
  • Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
