Chunky Cinnamon-Ginger & Brown Sugar Applesauce image

If you're looking for something comforting to warm you from your lips to your toes, this applesauce will do the trick. I like to use brown sugar in my applesauce sometimes instead of white, plus I like to add ginger in addition to cinnamon to tease the taste buds with subtle spicy warmth. Serve warm and enjoy two types of heat! My family of four gives this applesauce eight thumbs up, and I hope you enjoy it too! (Note: Cooking time includes time needed to cool the applesauce to a manageable temperature.)

Tips:

Choose the right apples: For the best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
Peel and core the apples: This will help the applesauce to cook more evenly and have a smoother texture.
Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will add a nice zing to the applesauce.
Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on the sweetness of your apples. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency: You can cook the applesauce for a shorter amount of time for a chunkier applesauce, or for a longer amount of time for a smoother applesauce.
Serve the applesauce warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm as a side dish or dessert, or it can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

This chunky gingered applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up extra apples, and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack or side dish. The addition of ginger gives the applesauce a unique and flavorful twist.
