Chris and I went apple picking this weekend. So much fun! I love apple-picking, have enjoyed returning a couple of years in a row now to Stribling Orchard in Markham, Virginia, and we had an absolutely gorgeous Saturday to go. After picking a half-bushel of apples, I am now, of course, looking for different “apple orchard experiments” to do with our pickings. But, 2 standbys for apples are always applesauce and cinnamon-brown sugar sautéed apples.
Simple (Apple)Sauce
(adapted from Sarah’s Applesauce – http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/sarahs-applesauce/detail.aspx?scale=10&ismetric=0)
10 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 ¾ cups plus 1 oz water
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
Simmer over medium-high heat until the apples are completely soft. Use a potato
masher or hand mixer to blend apples until as smooth as desired. Serve warm or
cool and refrigerate in an airtight container. This applesauce can also be
frozen.
Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Sautéed Apples

Quanties for this dish have to be all to your
preference. Put the apples in a large skillet. Add butter and brown sugar as
you desire. Sauté over moderate heat until the apples are tender.
