I am so blessed to have a good friend who owns a few apple trees on her property that produce lots of apples! The past few years, we have enjoyed picking apples together and discussing our latest adventures in motherhood. This year, with C in school, we were unable to go and pick the apples ourselves… but the good friend she is, she picked a few bags for us!
In the past, I have made and canned apple butter and applesauce from these apples. This year I decided to make things pretty simple. I focused on the simple apple staple my boys love: applesauce.
Are you ready for the super simple recipe on how to make homemade applesauce?
