Home Made Applesauce, Apple Sauce Recipe

How To Make Apple Sauce

Apple sauce (or applesauce) is the traditional accompaniment to many pork dishes in the UK, particularly roast pork. There are however a wide range of pork based recipes that use apples. Apple sauce is delicious and very simple, the basic recipe is to cook down apples with water. Variations on this basic recipe might use apple juice or even cider to cook the apples in and a wide range of spices can be added.

In the UK the applesauce served with roast pork is often sweetened and Bramley apples are mentioned by most recipes; many other apples can of course be used. If stored correctly apple sauce will keep for a long time. Its a great way to use up windfalls in the autumn.

Apple sauce is used widely across Europe, as a filling for pancakes and pastries, a puried food for children and a desert. You might find it also called: Apfelmus, Compota de manzana, Compote de pommes, Appelmoes or Äppelmos.

In my own family unsweetend apple sauce hass been given to children to successfully combat diarrhoea and improve bowel movement generally.
