Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

10 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 pieces each
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 (1-inch) pieces fresh ginger, peeled
3 whole cloves
2 sprigs fresh savory

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, cloves, and 1 cup water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to moderate and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.

    Step 2

    Remove from heat and blend with whisk, breaking up any remaining apple pieces. Pass through ricer, food mill, or fine-mesh strainer. While applesauce is still warm, stir in sprigs of savory. Let applesauce cool, then remove savory before serving.
