Homemade Apple Sauce is so much better than out of a jar. Traditionally eaten with meat, pancakes, ice cream, french fries and a host of other dishes, depending on the country you happen to be in!
Peel, core and slice the apples into wedges about. Then halve these wedges into 2.
4 Bramley apples
Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook away for 10-15 minutes, uncovered, until the apples are soft and broken down into pulp.Add a splash of water if it's getting too dry.
60 g salted butter, ½ Tbsp lemon juice, ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon, 60 g white sugar
Stir a few times to help break up the apples and to stop it from catching. I usually cook it for 10 minutes, and leave the odd chunk in there. Cooking for 15 minutes will leave you with most of the apple chunks cooked.
Taste and add a little more sugar if you think it needs it. Apple sauce should be tart with a hint of sweet.
Transfer to a clean jar and store in the fridge for up to 7 days.See other storage advice above.
