Sweet Apple Sauce Recipe
Dessert - Filling - Topping

Versatility is the theme of this apple sauce recipe. The recipe comes in handy during the apple harvest season to preserve or freeze apples for later use.

Apple sauce is a delicious dessert. Serve it plain, with vanilla ice cream or custard. A mild natural yogurt is one of my favorite combinations.

Cooked apples as a traditional filling for pies and pastries are often combined with cream cheese or nuts such as almonds, or walnuts, or some raisins are added. Popular examples are an apple pie, apple turnover or apple strudel.


Apple mash is also great to pair up with potato pancakes.

Enjoy!

How much apple mash to prepare?

The amount to prepare is always a tricky question. For four people eating apple sauce with potato pancakes or filling one round apple pie, we use one-kilogram apples. 

In general, the sourer the apple you use is the more sugar you will probably add. If you use a sweeter apple or mix different apple types together you change the aroma and sweetness of the sauce. So please see the amounts as a rough guideline and adjust the cooked apple recipe to your taste.

The apple sauce recipe goes well with potato pancakes or makes a great filling for apple pies. All the same, it can be served as a dessert on its own or spiced up with some ice cream or yogurt.
