Quick, Before Apples Go Out of Season!

Make Apple Sauce!

My friend Peter is sort of the king of apple sauce. I mean, there might be better, but I haven’t tried it. The secret, according to him, is a nice long, SLOW simmer to give the apples a nice caramelization. Apple sauce is super easy to make and it freezes well if you want to put some away to remind you of fall when it is spring. Plus apple sauce makes a great healthy substitute for butter when baking!

Ingredients:

Apples

Water

Sugar

Directions:

Honestly, there isn’t a lot too it. Start with maybe a batch of four decent sized apples. Peel and core the apples, eventually cutting the fruit into chunks. Put into a sauce pan with a few splashes of water (2 tablespoons should be good). Cover and cook on low heat as the apples break down. Taste and add sugar as needed… MAX a teaspoon… it will get sweet naturally as you let it cook down. Let simmer on low heat for a long time. We are talking, an hour or so…. until your apple sauce is a dark golden color and has a nice sweet apple-y taste. Enjoy!

eat food. not too much. mostly plants. -michael pollan my kitchen. my mission: for anyone who cooks, the kitchen is a sanctuary. a space for creating. a space for experimenting. playing. clearing the head. for anyone who eats, the table is an altar. a space for togetherness, for conversation, for enjoyment. together they are spaces that, more than anything, are overwhelmingly human. the space is the intersection of our primal need for food, and our cultural desire to enjoy it. what we eat and how we choose to eat it ultimately defines each of us. food should be accessible. it should be conscious, or rather, we should be conscious of our decisions. food should be nurturing. it should remind us of who we are, and who we want to be. it should connect us to others. it should be enjoyed. the goal of creating mykitchencounter is to help us reconnect with our food. the goal is to eliminate the fear of cooking and remind everyone that anyone can cook, the goal is to share tips, advice, ideas, discoveries, recipes, health advice, restaurant recommendations- basically anything food related. so… pull up a stool to mykitchencounter, let me pour you a glass of wine, and let’s talk about food.
