Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 4

about 3 pounds red apples (more or less)
1 cup apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the apples well. Do Not Peel! Chop them into 1 inch pieces, discarding the core.
  • Put the apples, cider, cinnamon and cloves into a heavy soup pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
  • Remove the spices, and then puree the apples in a food processor. I did this in batches so as not to overload the processor. You can puree the apples to a super smooth consistency, or keep some texture. I chose to retain a little bit of texture in mine.
  • Refrigerate the sauce until needed. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator.

Categories     Fruit     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Apple     Plum     Fall     Hazelnut     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 16

For applesauce filling
2 1/2 pounds McIntosh apples (about 6)
1 pound purple or red plums (about 4), halved and pitted
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
For cookie crust
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned (procedure follows)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg yolk beaten lightly with 2 tablespoons water
For meringue
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Make applesauce filling:
  • Quarter and core apples (do not peel). In a 5-quart saucepan simmer apples, uncovered, with remaining filling ingredients 2 hours, or until mixture is reduced to about 3 3/4 cups. (Stir mixture frequently during last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent scorching.) Force mixture through a food mill fitted with coarse disk or a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids, and chill. Applesauce may be made up to 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Make cookie crust:
  • In a food processor grind hazelnuts fine with sugar, flour, and salt. Add butter and pulse mixture well. Add yolk mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, and pulse mixture until it forms a dough. Press dough onto bottom and up side of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Bake crust in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until browned lightly, and cool in pan on a rack. Crust may be made 3 days ahead and kept, covered, in a cool dry place.
  • Spread applesauce onto crust.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Make meringue:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat egg whites with a pinch salt until they hold soft peaks. Add sugar gradually, beating whites until they hold stiff peaks.
  • Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and pipe some in a lattice pattern over filling. Pipe remaining meringue onto edge of tart to make a decorative border.
  • Bake tart in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden, and chill 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
  • To toast and skin hazelnuts:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a baking pan toast hazelnuts in one layer in oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until colored lightly, and skins blister. Wrap nuts in a kitchen towel and let steam 1 minute. Rub nuts in towel to remove as much of skins as possible and cool.

PINK APPLESAUCE

Martha Stewart developed this recipe when she discovered that lemon juice reacts with red-skinned apples and turns them pink. Use the reddest apples you can find and adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness of the apples. Enjoy!

Provided by Nif_H

Categories     Apple

Time 1h

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 mcintosh apples, red-skinned apples or 8 other tart red apples
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Quarter the apples, do not peel, and remove the seeds and cores. Place apples in a bowl, add the lemon juice, and toss thoroughly to coat.
  • Place the apples, sugar, and 1 cup water in a heavy saucepan. Cover pot, and let simmer over low heat, about 30 minutes, or until the apples break down to a saucelike consistency.
  • Remove pot from heat, uncover, and allow apples to cool slightly. Using a rubber scraper, gently push apples through a food mill or wire sieve. Discard the skins. Refrigerate until ready for use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best applesauce, use a variety of apples that are both sweet and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness from the applesauce.
  • Cook the apples until they are soft: This will help to release their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Add spices: A variety of spices can be added to applesauce to enhance its flavor, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Sweeten to taste: If you find that your applesauce is too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste.

Conclusion:

Applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and it can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. It can also be used as an ingredient in baked goods, such as muffins, pies, and cakes. With so many different ways to enjoy it, applesauce is a must-have for any kitchen.
