Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 large firm, flavorful apples (such as Fuji,

--Cortland, Baldwin or Granny Smith)

--stemmed and quartered -- (see note)

1 1/2 cups dried apple rings

--each ring cut into 4 pieces

1/3 cup sugar

Finely grated zest and strained juice of

1 large lemon

1 cup apple cider

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

 

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on low for

5-6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the apples are very tender.

 

Discard the cinnamon stick and use a slotted spoon to transfer the apple

solids to a food mill or a food processor. Puree them, and add enough

cooking juices to achieve the desired consistency. Serve the applesauce warm

or cold by itself, or as an accompaniment to meat or game dishes. Makes 4-5

cups.

 

Note: If you are using a food processor to puree the fruit (rather than a

mill), core and seed the apples before you cook them.

NOTES : This applesauce is wonderful alone, or can be served as a condiment

for

potato pancakes or roast meat or game. Leave the skins on the apples for

added flavor and color.

 

This is best made in a 3-quart slow cooker.
