Marthas Pink Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples break down to a sauce-like consistency.
• Remove from heat, uncover, and let stand until apples cool slightly. Using tongs or chopsticks, discard skins and mash apples for a chunky consistency. Use immediately, or store refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edge of dough flush with top of pan. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights.
• Bake until edges are set and golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove paper and beans. Bake until bottom is dry and golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, combine sugar, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon Calvados and simmer 30 seconds. Stir in applesauce.
• Spread applesauce mixture evenly in cooled tart shell. Core apples, then use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice into almost paper-thin rings. Arrange apples over applesauce mixture, overlapping slices in concentric circles from the center out, to completely cover tart. Bake until apples are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
• Combine jelly and remaining 1 tablespoon Calvados in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Brush glaze over apples. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Unmold and serve. Tart can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apples.
• In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)
• Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.

Steps:

• In a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the apples are broken down. Break apart the large pieces with the back of the spoon. Season with pepper and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine apples and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and beginning to burst, 15 to 30 minutes, depending on variety of apples. Pass through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Use immediately, or store, refrigerated, in a covered container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Serve warm or at room temperature with latkes. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Quarter the apples, do not peel, and remove the seeds and cores. Place apples in a bowl, add the lemon juice, and toss thoroughly to coat.
• Place the apples, sugar, and 1 cup water in a heavy saucepan. Cover pot, and let simmer over low heat, about 30 minutes, or until the apples break down to a saucelike consistency.
• Remove pot from heat, uncover, and allow apples to cool slightly. Using a rubber scraper, gently push apples through a food mill or wire sieve. Discard the skins. Refrigerate until ready for use.
