THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE



The Best Homemade Applesauce image

After tasting the pure apple flavor of this homemade sauce, you just might never go back to the store-bought kind. Supermarket applesauce can be loaded with added sweeteners and flavorings. We use only a little sugar, plus lemon juice, salt and cinnamon, providing a balanced flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.

Categories     condiment

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.

APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE AND HONEY FROSTING



Applesauce Cake With Cream Cheese and Honey Frosting image

This super-simple cake, which requires one bowl and one cake pan, comes from Julia Turshen's cookbook "Now & Again," and it's so easy to make you find yourself doing so often, especially throughout the fall when apples are on your mind. (It'd be especially great for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, or for novice or time-pressed Thanksgiving bakers.) The cake's texture and appeal are similar to those of banana bread; if you like, you can stir a large handful or two of raisins, nuts or both into the batter just before you scrape it into the pan. And although you can use homemade applesauce for this, know that store-bought is just fine.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup/100 grams sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 1/2 cups/400 grams unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup/80 milliliters canola or other neutral oil
6 ounces/170 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt and baking soda. Add the eggs, sugar, buttermilk, applesauce and oil and whisk gently just until everything is combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and then smooth the surface so it is even.
  • Bake the cake until it is just barely firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Set the cake aside on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
  • Use a dinner knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the pan sides and then invert it onto a work surface. Peel off and discard the parchment. Invert the cake one more time onto a serving platter.
  • Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, honey and salt and whisk together aggressively until the cream cheese is slightly aerated (you can also do this with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer).
  • Spread the frosting over the top of the cake and don't worry too much about making this perfect. A not-too-perfect cake is so much better than a perfect cake. Cut into wedges and serve. Leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
8 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute, to taste

  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the apples: This is the easiest way to get a smooth and creamy applesauce. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also use a potato masher or ricer.
  • Add your desired sweetener: Sugar, honey, or maple syrup can all be used to sweeten the applesauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add spices and other flavorings: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular spices that can be added to applesauce. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract or citrus zest.
  • Cook the applesauce over low heat: This will help to thicken the applesauce and develop its flavor.
  • Let the applesauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the applesauce to thicken further.

Conclusion:

Creamy applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in other recipes.
