10 Minute Apple Sauce Recipe courtesy Alton Brown Show: Good Eats Episode: Apple Family Values
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered 3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and quartered *** I use some to all Gala Apples
1 cup unfiltered apple juice *** I boil down regular unsweetened apple juice to about half its starting amount - this takes about ten minutes or less depending on the amount of heat you give it.
2 tablespoons cognac or brandy *** I usually leave this out
2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a sealable microwave-safe container, combine apples with all other ingredients. Close lid, leaving one corner of lid open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Using a hand blender or potato masher, blend to desired consistency. Serve hot immediately or chill for later use.
