Ingredients for Am Applesauce W English Mixed Spice Inspired By A French Tart

  • 4 pounds apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
  • Sugar
  • Mixed Spice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Lemon Juice
  • Unsweetened Apple Juice

How to Make Am Applesauce W English Mixed Spice Inspired By A French Tart

  1. Peel, core, and chop 4 pounds of apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix).
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples with 1/2 cup of apple cider, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of English mixed spice, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily mashed.
  4. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, blend until mostly smooth; for a chunkier applesauce, mash less.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness and spice as needed, adding more brown sugar or spice to your liking.
  6. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
