I have become very adept at making apple butter and apple sauce. They taste yummy, and aren't that hard to make. But I guess I should go back to the beginning.
It all started when I went to the Farmer's Market and saw the most yummy McIntosh apples ever. Then I went to the next farmer's market and found red delicious apples that I couldn't resist. Then I was talking to Ruth, my landlady and she had a lot of apples and didn't want them all. Before I new it (and 10 dollars later) I had more apples than I knew what to do with. So what do you do with apples? Puree it, add sugar and spices of course!
The apple butter is finer, and is distinctly flavored of cinnamon and cloves. Also, it is sweeter. The applesauce is chunky, and is spiced randomly with very little added sugar. And all complements of my happy VitaMix blender. What fun!
I hope everyone has fun this Fall with the season's apples. Make a pie, drink some cider, maybe even eat Apple Butter!
Enjoy
