In the fall, don’t forget about making applesauce – the world’s simplest recipe. Wash your apples, quarter them and cut out the core. Toss them into a large saucepan – as many as you’d like. Add about a 1/4 cup of water, just to keep them from burning until they start to exude their juice. Now bring them to a simmer and cook until the apples are tender. Puree the sauce in a blender, or with your immersion blender (the best, the easiest way). Taste. Does it need sugar? Does it need a little lemon? Do you want cinnamon or some other apple pie spice in there? Season to taste, simmer until it reaches the consistency you want, and you’re done.

Some folks make applesauce, and apple butter, in a slow cooker. Easy and there are 1,000,000 recipes on the Internet.
