Applesauce

When fall comes around, nothing is better
than the aroma of applesauce being made in
the home. Our recipe is quite versatile – you
can leave it as a chunky sauce or purée it for
the more common smooth version.
Setting: Slow Cook
Makes about 8 cups
4 pounds apples, cored and cut into
two-inch pieces (peeled or unpeeled)
2 cinnamon sticks
2 pinches freshly ground nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
pinch sea or kosher salt
¾ cup water
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2
medium lemons)
1. Put all of the ingredients into the cooking
pot of the Cuisinart
2. Select Slow Cook on Low for 4 hours.
3. Once unit switches to Keep Warm, remove
the cinnamon sticks. If a chunky sauce
is desired, use a potato masher to mash
cooked apples to desired consistency. If a
smooth sauce is preferred, transfer apples
to a fine mesh strainer and press through
with the help of a ladle. Once the apples
have passed through the strainer, discard
the skins (if necessary) and return smooth
apples to the cooking pot. Keep sauce on
Keep Warm for serving, or cool to room
temperature and store in the refrigerator.

Apple Butter

Cooking the applesauce down
with some sugar and spices makes
for a delicious apple butter.
Setting: Slow Cook
Makes about 2 cups
1 recipe smooth applesauce
(previous recipe)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1. Put all ingredients into the cooking pot of
the Cuisinart
®
2. Select Slow Cook on Low for 2 hours and
cook uncovered. This time is an estimate –
it can be anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. You
want the apple butter to be nicely thickened
until it is spreadable.
3. Cool apple butter to room temperature and
enjoy on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or on
top of pancakes or waffles.
