Adam and I went apple picking last year and had a blast, he promised we would get to go again this year. We ended up going with Adam’s mom, sister and niece. Adam put his niece up on his shoulders and they were the perfect picking pair they could get the super red high up apples. We ended up coming home with 20lbs of apples, so be on the lookout for lots of apple recipes on this blog in the coming weeks.
My first recipe I decided to try my apples on was applesauce, I love me some cinnamon applesauce, I never knew it was so easy to make. I used our cortland apples which were the softer sweeter ones that we picked. I also tripled this recipe but already know I will need to make more has it is AWESOME.
Adam got home late the night I made this he took a little taste before eating dinner his comment was “Dam, that is the best applesauce I have EVER had.”

In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are soft. Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher.
