Recipe: Freezing Apples for Applesauce and Microwave Applesauce

Preserving - Fruit
FREEZING APPLES FOR APPLESAUCE
AND MICROWAVE APPLESAUCE


"A great way to give your family that homegrown wholesomeness with the ease of grocery store 'bag dump and microwave'."

Cut the apples into about quarters, peel and seed. Put several cups worth into freezing bags and toss into the freezer.

In the dead of winter when you are dying for fresh applesauce, dump a bag of frozen apples into a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Then microwave for about 5 to 8 minutes, let them sit awhile, stir and microwave again. Stir them around, and microwave again.

When they are thawed and softening (add a bit of water if needed, but there is usually lots from the freezer bag) add sugar and cinnamon to taste. Just keep stirring and cooking for a few minutes until they suit your tastes.

This is a very easy way to cook them, and they are ok if you go off for a few minutes and just let them set and steam.
