GINGER GOLD APPLESAUCE
Well, it's my favorite time of year and there is nothing better than in the months of Autumn to cook up batches of homemade applesauce. Very common to many cooks to make applesauce in the crock-pot but when my sister Linda saw that I had posted a picture of my applesauce on Facebook she asked me for the recipe. So, I decided I...

Steps:
- 1. I used two bags of Ginger Gold apples only that equaled a peck.
- 2. It was my first time trying the Ginger Gold and though they are gone now for the year, I will look forward to making more applesauce with them next year. They are a good one for the sauce making.
- 3. Peel, core, and slice your apples. Place them in the crock pot. I always sprinkle the lemon juice in over the apples while I'm cutting them up. --- (Not all apples fit at first. After they cooked for awhile I was able to add the rest of the apples from the 2 bags.)
- 4. I put the crockpot on low for 8 to 10 hrs. Stirring occasionally. About, 1/2 way through cooking I add my brown sugar....just about 1/2 cup. Then, when they are cooked down where they are nice and soft I remove the cinnamon sticks & blend with my emulsion blender till smooth. I taste and then add more brown sugar if necessary & my salt at this point.
- 5. I then ladle out the applesauce into my Tupperware freezer containers and let cool before putting them in freezer. My favorite way to taste & eat applesauce is on a slice of toasted homemade bread. (I suppose because my Grandmother Roberta Campbell used to make her own bread and applesauce and this is how we always ate it.) Many of you already make applesauce, but my Sissy asked if I would give her the recipe so I thought I would post it in here for others who may not know how to make in the crock-pot & that way I could also give to my sister.

SPICY GINGER APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This simple sheet cake is packed with three kinds of spicy ginger: fresh, ground and crystallized. The cake is delicious on its own, but cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger push it closer to dessert. The cake can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated and brought to room temperature before serving. The crystallized ginger should be sprinkled on just before serving as it will weep in the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light, about 1 minute. Add applesauce, oil, fresh and ground ginger, orange zest, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and whisk until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on a countertop to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
- When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the ginger, lemon zest, vanilla and salt, and mix on low.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake in dramatic swoops and swirls, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crystalized ginger on top. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Ginger Gold apples are the best choice for this applesauce, as they have a sweet and tart flavor that pairs well with the ginger. If you can't find Ginger Gold apples, you can substitute another variety of tart apple, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: To make the applesauce smooth, it's important to peel and core the apples before cooking them. You can use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, and an apple corer to remove the core.
- Simmer the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency: The longer you simmer the applesauce, the thicker it will become. If you like a smooth applesauce, you can simmer it for about 30 minutes. If you prefer a chunky applesauce, you can simmer it for a shorter period of time.
- Add spices and sugar to taste: The amount of spices and sugar you add to the applesauce is up to your personal preference. You can start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the applesauce warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm or cold. It's a great addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also use it as a topping for desserts, such as pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Ginger Gold applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up fresh apples, and it's also a healthy and nutritious snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of delicious applesauce that your whole family will love. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
