We had lunch with a friend the other day and she suggested walking to the light house in Kommetjie. Reminds me why I love living in South Africa.
Surfers…the water had to have been freezing! I guess that’s what a wet suit is for!
We have such good friends here. So lucky!
And now on to this apple sauce…love it. That’s all I have to say. I don’t know if I could eat apple sauce out of a jar anymore. This is so much tastier–and really, it’s super easy.
Ingredients
Bag of apples (8-ish), I prefer granny smith, skins removed and sliced or chopped
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
cinnamon, to taste
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
cinnamon, to taste
Directions
Combine ingredients in sauce pan. Bring to boil and let simmer for 15-20 minutes (until apples are soft). Mash with hand-mixer or potato masher. I use a potato masher for a chunkier sauce.
That’s it. Delicious homemade apple sauce! This is out-of-this-world-good warmed up and served over waffles or pancakes.

I love making homemade apple sauce. It’s really easy if you have a lot of time on your hands. I leave my skins on and don’t mash them, I just let them cook for hours until they’re apple mush.
Last year, I bought a pint of apples from an orchard and couldn’t possibly eat them fast enough so making apple sauce as a necessity.

Hmm, that apple sauce sounds good without mashing it up…and then putting it on top of some vanilla ice cream. Yum! < —- only thinks about desserts, it's true

My grandma used to make homemade applesauce…I have not had any in 20 years I’ll bet!

mine too! she’s the one that got me hooked on using it on waffles/pancakes. Store bought versions def. can’t compete with Grandmas version!

I’ll admit, I’ve never had homemade apple sauce (not a huge fan). This recipe seems so easy it might turn me into an apple sauce convert
