I planned to do a Roast Pork Crackling Joint and I’ve been facing such problems getting a jar of apple sauce so I decided to make some myself and you should too … because it taste so much better and you can easily freeze them and it”ll keep well, frozen for up to a year! Use good quality, fresh cooking apples .. such as Golden Delicious, Granny Smith ..
Core & slice apples using an apple slicer ....easy peasy and then peel the skin
Put all ingredients together in the pot ....
Bring all to a boil then continue to simmer at a low heat for 20 minutes
Voila ... easy-peasy and you get your lovely home-made Apple Sauce sans all the preservatives, etc .... lovely slapped onto your roast pork sandwiches as well, just as what hubby dearest would do with our leftover Roast Pork 
... or serve it with your cheese platter!
RECIPE
Ingredients :
1 kg cooking apples
scant ¼ cup dark brown sugar
scant ¼ cup sugar
a 3 – 4″ piece of cinnamon
2 – 3 Tbsp lemon juice
few slices lemon peel + some grated lemon zest
½ tsp salt
½ cup water
Methods :
- Peel, core and slice apples into wedges … I find it speedier to use the apple slicer to do this
- Put all ingredients into a pot and bring to the boil
- Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes
- Mash with a potato masher if you prefer a smooth Apple Sauce but if you prefer a chunkier sauce, stir it around in the pot and leave sauce the way it is
- Tasty served up hot or cold with your roast pork and nice with your cheese platter too
