Nick thinks I was brainwashed from birth and he's probably not wrong!<br /><br />I also super duper love apple sauce. I love that you can get little serving size portions at Whole Foods here, I've eaten two today and I also prefer the no-sugar added kind.vegan.in.brightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022017381983993283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-82341212242507554442013-10-01T11:12:06.484-07:002013-10-01T11:12:06.484-07:00What a fantastic last MoFo post!

My mom turns the frozen apples into apple crisps for most of her Sunday dinners. So good! I love all of her apple products so much - I try to replicate them, but hers are always better =)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739107107713967100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-81449311491977484022013-10-01T08:31:43.244-07:002013-10-01T08:31:43.244-07:00Now that my grandma is gone, cooking dishes that r...Now that my grandma is gone, cooking dishes that remind me of her kitchen are really special to me.

I've never made homemade applesauce, but if some day we have a nice apple tree in our backyard I'm going to be an applesauce-making machine!Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893359086981114989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-47904909948691701452013-09-30T11:51:33.856-07:002013-09-30T11:51:33.856-07:00I'm much the same, the guilt of any wasted foo...I'm much the same, the guilt of any wasted food hangs over me...<br />I love homemade applesauce, and like you say it's great to have on hand for baking as well as snacks/desserts.<br />I always peel my apples for applesauce, although I feel a little guilty about that too.<br />My Mum told me that when she was at school they'd talk about the toenails in the applesauce which were what the little pieces of core left behind reminded her and her friends of!coconutandberrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808077876445841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-49367686057534202182013-09-30T07:09:02.444-07:002013-09-30T07:09:02.444-07:00I'm sure once the work is done, it's wonde...I'm sure once the work is done, it's wonderful to all of that homemade applesauce on hand, made just the way that you like it. But I can totally see how it would feel like an apple burden when you're faced with so many apples that have to be cooked before they go bad. <br /><br />I'm sad that we're nearing the end of this MoFo, but I read in one of your earlier posts (or maybe on Facebook) that you're thinking about continuing this theme with occasional posts. I hope that you do! I also mentioned on my blog that it would be so cool if you did a zine with these noshtalgia posts!

I have a laundry basket and 5 gallon container in my garage filled with the apples that have fallen off my tree. Like you, I have coddling moth issues and most of the apples have damage from them or other insects that have come on board after they have fallen off of the tree. No problemo! I just cut those parts out and the sauce is delicious.<br /><br />I don't peel the apples before I cook them because they get smushed out with the food mill. They make the sauce a pretty pink color. <br /><br />I love this time of the year!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806638511996071939noreply@blogger.com
