How to Make Aeblegrod Danish Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and chop 2 lbs (900g) of apples (Granny Smith or a mix of tart and sweet are recommended).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples with ½ cup (120ml) of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
  4. Stir in ¼ cup (60ml) of dry white wine (like Riesling or Pinot Grigio).
  5. Remove from heat and gently mash the apples using a potato masher or fork until they reach your desired consistency – slightly lumpy is perfect!
  6. Stir in granulated sugar to taste (start with ¼ cup and add more as needed, depending on the sweetness of your apples).
  7. Allow the applesauce to cool completely before serving. Chilling enhances the flavors.
  8. Serve chilled as a side dish with roasted pork or poultry, or enjoy it as a comforting dessert.
