Apple Pie Applesauce

Apple Pie Applesauce

This recipe is originally from The Family Kitchen

• 5 pounds apples, like Jonathan or Macintosh—something that will get smushy when it cooks down
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (NOT the fake kind!)
• 2 inch piece orange zest (use a vegetable peeler to peel off a strip—don’t add the white pith)
• juice of half an orange
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 cup water

In a large pot, combine all ingredients. Set over medium high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Applesauce is done when the apples are all translucent and soft. Serve warm.
