applesauce

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 kg apples, sour, peeled
• 100 ml water
• 100 ml white wine (I use semi-dry Riesling)
• 130 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 stalk(s) cinnamon

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Roughly chop the peeled apples and place them in a saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until the apple pieces are soft enough to fall apart. Mash them slightly with a wooden spoon. Remove the cinnamon stick! I personally prefer chunky applesauce, so mashing it with a wooden spoon is enough for me. If you prefer it finer, you can of course press it through a sieve or puree it with an immersion blender. Applesauce is great for making and freezing in large quantities, so you always have some on hand, for potato pancakes or as dessert.
