Apple cider applesauce
Instructions:
- 1 pound juicy apples, such as McIntosh, peeled, cored, and quartered
- 3/4 cup apple cider
- 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more if needed
- Pinch of salt
- Bring the apples and cider to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover the pan; reduce heat. Simmer until the apples are very soft, about 12 minutes. Stir in the sugar and salt.
- Cook (uncovered) over medium-low heat until the apples have broken down and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Puree in a food processor until smooth. Add more sugar, if desired. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
