LEMON GINGER CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE



Lemon Ginger Cranberry Applesauce image

I wanted a brighter-tasting cranberry sauce instead of one that had just a sweet note of sugar. Using lemonade concentrate made it easy and the ginger was perfect with the tart cranberries. Adding lemon peel would be good with this also, and this is wonderful served on top of turkey soup! Also good for any time of the year.

CHUNKY CINNAMON-GINGER & BROWN SUGAR APPLESAUCE



Chunky Cinnamon-Ginger & Brown Sugar Applesauce image

If you're looking for something comforting to warm you from your lips to your toes, this applesauce will do the trick. I like to use brown sugar in my applesauce sometimes instead of white, plus I like to add ginger in addition to cinnamon to tease the taste buds with subtle spicy warmth. Serve warm and enjoy two types of heat! My family of four gives this applesauce eight thumbs up, and I hope you enjoy it too! (Note: Cooking time includes time needed to cool the applesauce to a manageable temperature.)

SPICY GINGER APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Spicy Ginger Applesauce Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This simple sheet cake is packed with three kinds of spicy ginger: fresh, ground and crystallized. The cake is delicious on its own, but cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger push it closer to dessert. The cake can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated and brought to room temperature before serving. The crystallized ginger should be sprinkled on just before serving as it will weep in the fridge.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/4 cups/275 grams light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups/480 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180 grams neutral oil like canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup/85 grams finely chopped crystallized ginger
12 ounces/350 grams cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups/226 grams confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 cup/85 grams finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light, about 1 minute. Add applesauce, oil, fresh and ground ginger, orange zest, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and whisk until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on a countertop to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the ginger, lemon zest, vanilla and salt, and mix on low.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake in dramatic swoops and swirls, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crystalized ginger on top. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To easily peel and core your apples: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin in long strips, then use an apple corer to remove the core in one easy twist.
  • Choose the right apples: For the best applesauce, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala. These apples have a good balance of sweetness and tartness, and they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cook the applesauce slowly: Low and slow is the best way to cook applesauce. This allows the apples to break down and release their natural sweetness without scorching.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic applesauce spices, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as cardamom, allspice, or cloves.

Conclusion:

Applesauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. Applesauce can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and yogurt. It can also be used as an ingredient in cakes, muffins, and pies. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, applesauce is a healthy and delicious addition to any meal.
