When Life Throws You Apples...

 ...Make Applesauce

What You'll Need:
Apples
Cutter
Cutting Board
Pot for boiling
Sugar
Cinnamon

I really love making food and memories with these kiddos. We were in charge of applesauce for our Thanksgiving. We made our own. Kids love to make the side, and eat it. Adults will have to skin the apples (older kids can use a finger friendly knife to skin). We used an apple core/cutter to do both the coring out and cutting up apples. We used butter knives to cut into smaller pieces for boiling. Place into the pot and add a cup of water to cover about 1/4 of the apples (to keep it chunky). Allow to simmer. Add in 1 TB of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sugar. Allow to boil and use masher to mash apples. We allowed to cool and kids mashed. Don't mash too much or it will be runny.

Warm before eating.
Great first recipe, cooking project at home. Great way to introduce measuring utensils, and fine motor skills of cutting, pealing, etc.
