Simple apple sauce

September 9th, 2007 @ 12:02

I should be cleaning and cooking right now, but I needed a break! Most of the day has been spent listening to sexist music, cleaning, shaking my fat ass and cooking. Instead of doing that for a little while I’m going to share the most perfect apple sauce recipe ever. The reason it’s so perfect is it’s simplicity. Forget about spending hours in the kitchen, peeling the apples, deseeding and boiling. You just pop this baby in the oven, blog about your day, file your nails, do your hair and then press those suckers. That really is all you do.

Awesome sauce:

You will need a potato press for this recipe (It looks like a giant garlic press, check it out here or here!) if you don’t have one then I advise you to not even try this recipe out, it’s not worth the hassle.

The apple sauce doesn’t use much sugar, I don’t like it when it’s too sweet. Taste your sauce (haha, that sounds rude, sorry!) and decide if you want more. It has no preservatives and it is delicious!

  • apples
  • sugar

Turn oven on to 200 C (390F). Take your apples and ‘fork’ them (that is, pierce them with a fork) in several places. Put apples on a parchment paper on an oven tray. Put as many as you can fit on there. The bigger your tray the more apple sauce you will get. Bake apples in the oven for about 40 minutes. If they fall apart, don’t panic, they’re supposed to. When the apples are done, take them out of the oven and immediately start pressing them into a big bowl. Don’t worry about trying to remove the peel, just press a few apples at a time in the press, the peel and the seeds will stay in the press and the apple purée will go into the bowl. Open the press, remove seeds and peel. Repeat with more apples. After they’re all done you add the sugar to your purée. Measure how much puree you have and add sugar accordingly. For every 4 cups of purée add ½ cup sugar. (Or if you’re Swedish like me, or just use metric anyway, for every litre of purée, add 1.5 dl sugar). Stir together and freeze in little bags. The apple sauce keeps for about 1-2 weeks in the fridge as it has no preservatives.

  2. Oooh, it’s like roasted applesauce – awesome. I have a recipe I like called “All Day Applesauce.” You put everything in the crockpot until the apples turn to mush. It’s really easy, plus the house smells amazing while it cooks.

  3. I just made my very first applesauce and loved it! I will have to try your method soon.

    I have to ask… what sexist music were you listening to? My favorite sexist music has got to be Serge Gainsbourg. He was a perverted SOB, but I love him anyway.

  4. Bazu – I was listening to sexist rnb from when I was 17 and in school. Me and a friend would put on loads of makeup, high heels and short skimpy clothes and go out dancing listening to music that basically consists of moaning, the words ‘bitches, hoes, grinding, licking lollipops’ and that sort of shit. I don’t really ‘like’ that sort of music, but it really brings back memories of having fun and being completely care free. Ah, those were the days. I actually used to think that a random guy trying to feel you up on the dance floor was the ultimate proof that I was a sexy young girl. Holy crap did I change!
