Homeade Applesauce

 

I had leftover apples from apple picking that couldn't quite add up to apple butter

so they instead became this luxurious applesauce.

Ah spoonful of heaven!

 

This was really fast and easy and would be great on pancakes or mixed into yogurt. Or, as I've been doing, sneaking heaping spoonfuls out every time I walk past the fridge.

 

 

Applesauce:

 

6 lbs of mixed apples; peeled, cored, and sliced

1 cup apple cider

1 lemon; juiced

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 tbs maple syrup

 

1    in a large pot mix together all ingredients

2    bring heat up to medium and cook for 25 minutes, apples should be very tender

3    pour into food processor and puree until no large chunks remain, you can make

      it thinner by processing it further

4    store in an airtight container in the fridge

 

super simple with an amazing flavor, plus your whole house smells like fall while you're making it!

 



Pioneer Square Wandering

Saturday we ventured near downtown to buy supplies for a project we're working on. But on the way home traffic got bad and we got hungry so we parked along the water and ended up spending the day wandering around Pioneer Square.

It was one of those great fall days where we trudged through giant leaf piles, spent the afternoon drinking beer and talking in a small pub, stopping through our favorite toy store, and finally getting dinner at Bar Sajor which is an amazing restaurant I've been telling him about for months.

We had super delicious cocktails, pickled beets with thin sliced of beef, local mushrooms, and we ventured into dessert with a tasty apple pie concoction.

 

On Saturday we'd only planned the store trip but it ended up becoming a day we'd been wanting to do for awhile, we even happened upon the Sounder's game tailgate for some live music and watched them parade to the stadium.

Our friends went and made it even better by calling us up after their day and showing us a really cute new bar where we hung out til midnight and fit in a game of euchre and biked home.
