How to Make Caramelized Applesauce With Pecans And Golden Raisins

  1. Soak 1/2 cup golden raisins in 2 tablespoons cognac in a small bowl for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Peel, core, and coarsely chop 4 medium apples (about 4 cups).
  3. In a large saucepan, combine chopped apples, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Cover the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are very soft, stirring occasionally.
  7. Increase heat to medium. Remove the lid.
  8. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  9. Cook uncovered for 5-8 minutes, or until the apples are light brown and caramelized, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  10. Stir in the soaked raisins (along with the cognac) and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
  11. Serve warm or cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
