Cinnamon-Sage Applesauce
This applesauce gets complex flavor from cinnamon, sage, and maple syrup. Leaving the apple skins on before cooking results in a delightful pink hue.
Ingredients
- 8 tart-sweet apples (like Fuji, McIntosh, or Jonagold)
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. fresh sage, finely minced
Instructions
- Wash apples, but do not peel. Chop into 1×1 inch pieces.
- Place apple pieces in large pot and place over medium heat.
- Add water and salt; then, bring to a boil. As soon as the pot begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for thirty minutes.
- Once apples are soft, remove pot from heat and stir in cinnamon, maple syrup, and fresh sage.
- Transfer apple mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth, or use a hand-held electric blender to achieve the desired consistency.
