Mmm. Applesauce.

No, I didn't just get my wisdom teeth taken out. And neither did any of my friends. It is, however, fall, and apples are more than in season, and who doesn't want to eat hot, steaming, cinnamon-y, apple mush when it is supposed to snow this week? Exactly. Somewhat inspired by (but with a different recipe) PurpleFoodie's recent post, I made applesauce this evening.

My applesauce turned out delicious, if a little on the chunky side (this is due to the lack of potato mashers in dorms at CC), but oh so enjoyable all the same. Eating it hot was delicious, but I still have some leftovers to enjoy cold (or microwaved) later! Yum.

Ingredients
• 4 or 5 (depending on size) organic apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
•2 T brown sugar
•2 T white granulated sugar
•3/4 t cinnamon
•1/4 C water

Directions

Put water and sugar in saucepan over medium heat until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add apples and mix well until evenly coated. Cover. After 10 minutes or so, add cinnamon, and stir to coat apples evenly. After another 5-10 minutes, your apples should be soft enough to mash. This step is your call- if you want a smoother applesauce, leave mixture over heat for longer, and less time if you're going for a chunkier style. Remove from heat, and mash with a potato masher or fork until applesauce has reached your desired consistency. Let cool a little, and enjoy!
