#desserts – Bitsy's Backyard

I am not talking about how many memories that you can hold at one time in your head as we can never have enough apples in our brain. As a teacher, we were taught that as a student ages that they can hold 1 to 2 memories. By 24 years old, we can hold up to 5 memories or instructions (apples) at once until we age and then it starts to decrease. Ok, enough rambling. The apples that I am referring to are the ones on your counter when no one has decided to eat them. Once they are no longer crisp, my family decides that they are no longer edible. So back to my question, too many leftover apples? I love to make the family homemade apple sauce as either a yummy dessert over vanilla ice cream or a side dish to our dinner. Louie loves it with ham.

What to gather…

Apples – I have used all types and they have worked.
1 tablespoon cinnamon – (I might add a little more)
1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 cup of water

Let’s Start

Next, place the cut up apples into your 2 quart pot on the stove. Add cinnamon, sugar and water. Heat the mixture on medium heat until it starts to boil or bubble. Stir a few times and lower heat to simmer. Cook until the apples start to fall apart and you can mash them down. My family likes them smooth but others like them chunky.
