On Friday, I got some fuji, gala, and braeburn apples for $0.50/lb from Tacoma Boys. I used them to make homemade applesauce for the first time. It was fun and easy! Just peel, core and slice the apples. Put them in a pot and cover them with water and a lid, then boil them for about 10 minutes until they’re soft. Puree them in the blender, adding the juice from boiling them as needed. I ate some warm with cinnamon. Mmmmm.
Now I really want some apple trees! I want to can an abundance of apple pie filling, apple sauce and apple butter. My own apple trees would make that much more economical.
