HONEY ROASTED APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, remove the core and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high heat with the butter in it. When the butter begins to brown add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the apples and salt. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges just begin to color. Add the honey and put in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the apples are soft and lightly caramelized.
• Mash with a fork for a chunky version, or put in food processor for a smoother sauce. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
• Cook's Notes: Most applesauce recipes call for cooking the apples on the stovetop from start to finish. I prefer to start them on the stovetop and then finish them in a hot oven. The oven heat concentrates their flavors by drying and caramelizing them slightly. Although I have suggested a couple of apple varieties, you can use what good cooking apples are available in your area.

HONEY-ROASTED APPLESAUCE

• Wash, core and chop apples. I usually prepare a bowl of cold water and toss the chopped apples in there until I am done preparing them - they brown less that way!

• Place apples (drained) in a dutch oven. Add honey and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Stir and return to oven, uncovered. Bake another 30 minutes, stirring half-way through. Mash slightly with spoon.

• 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.
