Applesauce!!

So this is one of the easiest recipes, probably ever. I was sick for the last two weeks and home made applesauce is more of a cold remedy than you could imagine. Here's the recipe:

4-5 apples, peeled and chopped (they don't have to be too finely chopped though, its all going in a food processor)

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

splash of lemon juice (it really brings out the apple flavor!)

Combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes until the apples are soft. Transfer to a food processor and process to your thickness liking.

Tip- for a thicker applesauce, use a slotted spoon to only transfer the apples to a food processor and omit the cooking liquid.

ALSO- the cooked apples themselves make a GREAT topping for oatmeal or ice cream! Yummy....
