Homemade applesauce

Is there anything better than fresh apples cooking in your kitchen? I don’t think so. The smell was divine! It got a little steamy, but thanks to my sweet hubby hooking me up with a sweet set-up for processing apples. It’s not an easy task, but worth it! That’s how my wonderful applesauce waffles and pancakes were created! Don’t forget homemade applesauce cake!

First, I cut out the cores, then boil them in a little water for about 20 minutes. Then I run them through a strainer attached to my kitchen aid (life saver!) afterward, I scoop the sauce into sterilized quart jars and attach canning lids them with rings and then process them in a hot water bath canner for 25 minutes. Yum! 



This is the KitchenAid attachment I was talking about. As you can see it is automatic and with the simple flip of the , switch it was delicious apple sauce for you!!. As you can see, I am scooping apples that have been cooked and placing them into the top portion of the processor. Then it will send out the skins and only put the sauce in to the other container. It is quite wonderful!
