applesauce
how to make Sister Lisa's Wonderful Applesauce:
(this is more of a method than a recipe.)
start with one bag of red delicious apples. this is important because it's basically your only ingredient. don't use any other kind of apples. the riper and sweeter the better.
peel, core, and slice the apples.
cook them over medium heat in a large, deep skillet, covered tightly.
after 20-30 minutes, when they are soft, mash them in the pan with a potato masher. don't mash them too much; the texture is everything! that's why i bother to peel, core and chop by hand rather than use a food mill after they're cooked. if there is too much juice, cook some off, but don't let them get too dry.
add a good dose of nutmeg and cinnamon. it's difficult to add too much cinnamon, really. i usually add another few dashes right before i serve it and swirl them around so there's like streaks of cinnamon all through it.
