Homemade Apple Sauce

If you have apples that are leftover from apple picking or some that you bought at the store, and they don't quite look as pretty and shiny as they used to DON'T THROW THEM OUT!  Peel 'em, cut 'em up, and throw 'em in the pot.  Those 'yucky' apples will make your entire house smell like a cool crisp Fall day and taste delicious!!


Directions:
Peel Apples and cut around the pit center. (any variety of apples will work)
Put them in a sauce pan on Medium heat w/ a Cinnamon Stick
Add about 1/2 Cup of water (enough to just cover the bottom but DO NOT cover the apples)


You want to bring your apples, cinnamon stick and water to a boil and occasionally give them a stir. After about 20 minutes or once your apples are cooked through (you should be able to put a fork easily through them and they should not be firm anymore - apples like Granny Smith have a tendency to need more time to cook) turn your heat off.  


Add white and brown sugar.  This measurement is really up to you...if you like it sweeter add more, if you like a more tart sauce then add less.  Finish it off with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.


And now sit back and enjoy!!
