Last weekend we went to the Julian Apple Festival. Julian is an old Pioneer town in California, just a short drive from San Diego. Since we don't get much of a season change in San Diego, it is always nice to get to Julian to get a little hint of fall. After bringing home a car load of apples, I started searching for apple recipes. Pies, cakes, chicken, applesauce. After trying several renditions of homemade applesauce, I think the (easy) one from Alton Brown is the best. His recipe calls for two kinds of apples -- but use whatever apples you have! Enjoy!
- 3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
- 3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
- 1 cup unfiltered apple juice
- 2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a sealable microwave-safe container, combine apples with all other ingredients. Close lid, leaving one corner of lid open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes.
Using a hand blender or potato masher, blend to desired consistency. Serve hot immediately or chill for later use.
