Yummy Applesauce!

Apples and fall go together like cookies and milk, bees and honey, and babies and love.

So what was going on in our kitchen last weekend?  Applesauce!

Oh yeah. Nothing like a big pot of apples, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla simmering on the stove to fill the house with delicious scent.

I leave the skins on the apples.

Then, when the apple pieces are soft and completely cooked, I pour all the hot mixture into a large strainer over a big bowl.

Stir, stir, stir, until most of the soft apple mixture has fallen through the little holes, leaving the skins behind.

Then, after the mixture cools, I ladle it into containers and freeze it, carefully saving a container to eat later that day.

The containers in the freezer don't last for long, though. 

The applesauce is a great accompaniment to pork chops as well as a yummy snack any time of the day or night. 

It sure beats store-bought applesauce.

Now how do you like "them apples?"
