Apple sauce can actually take quite a while to make, mainly because the apples have to be peeled and cored, and if you don\u2019t have a handy machine for that, it can easily take half an hour to an hour every time you need to process 2\u20134 kg of apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

On top of that, there\u2019s the cooking time, and if you don\u2019t sweeten your pur\u00e9e (which I never do), it takes longer because you don\u2019t get the rapid osmosis that sugar creates\u2014it draws the liquid out of the apples faster and forms a syrup at the bottom of the pot that distributes the heat more efficiently than dry air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, apple sauce without added sugar means we don\u2019t get any outside help, which means it takes longer to prepare\u2014but that\u2019s definitely preferable if you ask me, since added sugar in apple sauce is a no-go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the cell walls and pectin in the apples break down, the pur\u00e9e thickens naturally; however, depending on the variety of apples you\u2019re using, this process may take more or less time and occur to a greater or lesser extent. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make puree from all apples; it just means that the result will vary greatly depending on which apples you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often choose to mix two varieties\u2014preferably a firm, slightly drier but sweeter variety and a medium-juicy, more tart variety\u2014since this creates a pur\u00e9e with a beautiful balance between tartness and sweetness. So choosing this combination usually improves both the flavor and the texture of a pur\u00e9e. Using a single variety that\u2019s well-suited for pur\u00e9e is perfectly fine, too, but it\u2019s not always possible to find it or grow it in your own garden. Plus, using multiple varieties creates a more nuanced flavor profile, making the pur\u00e9e feel more like gourmet food and less like baby food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the varieties you use also affect how long you have to stand there and keep an eye on your applesauce, which can be frustrating if you\u2019re juggling several things in the kitchen\u2014which I often am\u2014so that\u2019s why I\u2019ve created this \u201cLazy Kitchen\u201d version of something that used to take me over an hour to make, depending on the amount of apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, I don\u2019t have to stand over a pot for a long time, because I use my slow cooker for this, and the result is an apple pur\u00e9e that\u2019s smooth and deeply spiced\u2014as the long cooking time allows the spices to meld with the apples, letting the natural flavors of Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger create a deep and warming flavor fusion in the apple puree\u2014a taste of fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delicious apple puree can be eaten as is, with porridge, or simply with yogurt or whipped cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it can also be used in a wide variety of desserts, cakes, and condiments, which I think is absolutely wonderful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, let's get started!<\/p>\n\n\n
