Roasted Applesauce


I cannot believe it has taken me so long to post a new blog!! My sister Christina has been on me like white on rice to put up a new post, so here I go!

A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I went to Rose Hill Farms north of Hyde Park, NY and picked a bunch of juicy Honey Crisp apples. It was my very first time apple-picking and I LOVED IT!!! Tasting as you pick was the best part :P Anyway... We ended up bringing home almost 30 apples so I decided to make applesauce. One of my fellow bloggers (Closet Cooking) had posted a recipe for roasted applesauce and it sounded really yummy so I gave it a try and it turned out marvelous! From the smell of spices to the rich taste of freshly picked roasted apples, this recipe is one I will definitely hold on to.

Ingredients:
4 apples (peeled, cored and chopped)
1/4 cup apple cider (I used cranberry apple cider and it added some tang!)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:
1. Toss everything in a bowl.
2. Bake in a preheated 400F oven until the apples are very soft, about 30-50 minutes.
3. Mash the apples.
...then EAT!
