cinnamon and honey applesauce

Cinnamon and Honey Applesauce (click the link above to view the original post)

4 - 5 lbs. granny smith apples; peeled, cored, and quartered

2 cups apple juice

2 cups water

1/3 cup raw honey

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Put the apples in a large pot with a heavy bottom over medium-high heat. Pour in the apple juice and water and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and begin falling apart - about 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. If you want a thicker applesauce return to the stovetop and simmer (with splatter cover) until thickened as desired - remember that it will thicken some on its own as it cools. Stir in the honey and cinnamon. Adjust to taste. Serve warm with honey-sweetened whipped cream and pecans.
