Apple Sauce

By HeatherS

Really more of a condiment than a sauce, this tart puree is usually served cold or warm, rather than hot. It's typically served with rice, roast pork or duck, but is also good with cold meats and savory pies.

Ingredients

• 8 oz tart cooking apples (Granny Smith Apples)
• 2 tbsp water
• thin strip lemon rind
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1-2 tbsp sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Peel, core and slice the apples.

Place the apples in a saucepan with the water and lemon peel. Cook uncovered over a low heat until very soft, stirring occasionally.

Remove the lemon rind, then beat to a pulp with a spoon or press through a strainer.

Stir in the butter and then add sugar to taste.
