Recipe: Microwave Applesauce and Apple Butter

Desserts - Fruit
MICROWAVE APPLESAUCE AND APPLE BUTTER

I made apple butter/sauce in the microwave. Take as large a microwave safe pot as you have, fill it with apples, halved or quartered to make more fit in the pot. Cover and microwave until soft. (I have a square Corningware casserole and it takes 15-20 minutes I think - haven't done this since last year).

Then run it thru a food mill or some sort of sieve. I have a hand-cranked strainer that looks something like the old meat grinders, but the applesauce comes out the side, and the pits, skin, etc comes out the end. It is very easy. Works well for making tomato puree too (which is why I bought it).

This applesauce is quite thick and very good. If I want it more like apple butter, I add cinnamon and return to the microwave for maybe half an hour, or until desired color and thickness. And you don't have to stir.
