Rosy Applesauce Dessert

By luvmybuttonsnbows

Red Delicious eating apples are available year round and are ideal for this recipe. Green or yellow apples can be used also but the applesauce wil not be as attractive looking. Use a food processor with steel blade to make this sauce in 1 batch. The skin may not become as finely cut as in a blender but will be satisfactory.

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 c. light corn syrup
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 6 medium red eating apples
• fresh ground nutmeg, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Put lemon juice, syrup and sugar in blender. Puree on medium for 30 seconds. Pour into 1½-qt. bowl. Core and slice unpeeled apples into liquid. Toss apple as added to prevent discoloration. Fill blender half full with some apples and liquid. Cover. Blend on high until peel is pureéd. Pour applesauce into refrigerator container or glass jar with lid. Repeat until all is blended. Cover airtight. refrigerate at once. Serve sprinkled with nutmeg, if desired.
