Sometimes I go overboard with my dinner preparations. Even though my kids are generally receptive to trying new mealtime creations, every once in a while they just want good old, every day type foods.
Tonight for dinner I made a meal that would make Mrs. Cleaver proud. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, sauteed zucchini, and homemade Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce.
Simple to make and much tastier than the jar version, the only drawback of homemade applesauce is that it takes about 100 pounds of apples to make 2 cups of applesauce. I exaggerate. It takes about 50 pounds of apples to make 2 cups of applesauce.
If you are feeling a little nostalgic tonight, make some applesauce and watch reruns of Leave It To Beaver. Your kids will thank you.
Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce
3 pounds of MacIntosh apples, peeled and cut in chunks
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup water
Place all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Applesauce with be both smooth and chunky.
