“We want chicken, fries and applesauce….” I remember this sentence from a song by Children for Children! Strangely enough, it seems the older I get, the less applesauce I eat. It is something that is often given to small children. Or people who eat very poorly and then add applesauce to everything. Actually quite a shame because a homemade sweet applesauce with fine spices is delicious. So get your jars out of the pantry, we are going to make a delicious applesauce recipe.
Homemade sweet apple sauce
The nice thing about making your own is that you decide for yourself what goes into it. For example, I didn't choose sugar this time, but honey to sweeten the purée. And next to cinnamon also 2 star anise. As you will see in the recipe, it is also made that way. Most of the work is in peeling the apples.
You can store the applesauce in the refrigerator for a few weeks, but you can also freeze it for a longer shelf life. Applesauce is a delicious and versatile side dish that goes with many dishes. What can you eat it with? Well I would say chicken, fries and applesauce haha! But can also be used in all kinds of baking, such as apple pie, muffins or cake. Applesauce gives your pastries an extra creamy and sweet taste. You can also use applesauce to marinate your meat or fish, for example pork tenderloin or salmon.
Applesauce provides a nice fresh and fruity touch to your dish. And of course you can also serve applesauce with a potato with hash, or with a somewhat boring vegetable such as cauliflower or broccoli. Certainly healthier than a generous spoonful of gravy or cheese sauce. Applesauce is therefore highly recommended for anyone who likes tasty and easy food.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
