SUNDAY MORNINGS at MY HOUSE unsweetened applesauce

     One of my favorite ways to spend a fall weekend is to visit an apple orchard.  We hit the Mother Lode on a Saturday in October when my husband and I were visiting our daughter in Wisconsin and found a cluster of apple farms.

    Our objective that day was to buy a sweet apple that could be made into applesauce without any added sugars.  That for us turned out to be the Spartan variety of apple that I used in making this applesauce.  I have since peeled, cored, sliced, and cubed 12 pounds of apples.  My daily breakfast of a soft-boiled egg with toast fingers has been replaced for now, by bowls of applesauce topped with vanilla yogurt and freshly-toasted walnuts.
     There's a pork roast in our future and I'm hoping there will still be some applesauce to serve alongside; but the way we've been eating this up, there may not be.

• 6 pounds of your favorite apple (I used a Spartan), peeled, sliced thick and slices cubed
* 2 cups fresh apple cider
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• freshly-squeezed lemon juice, to taste

1.  Place all of the apples in a large (5 quart) sauté pan or a large heavy pot.  Add the apple cider and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a good simmer and cover.  Cook for 25 minutes.  Remove the lid and continue to simmer until cider and juices have been reduced.  Add the cinnamon and lemon juice to taste ( I used about 2 teaspoons).  Cool and refrigerate.
2.  Eat applesauce as is, or top with (vanilla) yogurt and toasted walnuts.

Eileen, I have a case of home harvested Belle de Boskoop apples waiting for me to get my act together for a little saucin' and cannin' -- hopefully this week between drywallin' and sandin'. ;-)
