How do you like THEM apples??

Well I LOVE them.

One thing I love about living in Utah, is you can find fruit and veggie stands on almost every corner selling sugar sweet corn, juicy watermelon, and peaches that taste like candy. What's even better, is most of the time their prices are just the same (if not better) than the grocery stores. What's even better than that?? The quality outshines grocery stores, hardcore.

The other day I drove by one that is just around the corner from my apartment and decided to stop and take a look. They had corn, peaches, apples, berries, green beans, onions, and squash. They had everything! The fruit caught my eye right away. The peaches were ginormous!! And the apples looked just ripe enough to be sweet, but still give your jaw a good clenching. So I bought two big buckets of each.

The peaches I have been enjoying in my cereal, in peach shakes, and just as a snack here and there. The apples I didn't eat as quickly, though. (we still have maybe 10-15 left)

Now, if you don't know that much about me since I've moved up to Utah, I am a HUGE Pinterest girl. No, I don't sit on Pinterest all day, pinning away things that I will never read or see again. I look for things that I can actually do, and I do them. I've made a zebra cake, melted crayon art, some cool things to put in picture frames, my bouquet for my wedding. Okay. Practically my WHOLE wedding. I've also made quite a few recipes, too. But I found one that was "Blog Post" worthy.

Oh. My.

Applesauce.

I LOVE applesauce. Especially when I'm not feeling too well.

So I was pinning one day, came across a recipe for applesauce, and was astounded at how few ingredients you need, and how quickly it took. (Don't call me dumb if your mom made applesauce all the time, while I think that it's ingenious.) I've seen some recipes on Pinterest for applesauce that required your crockpot, 6 hours, an arm, and some magic fairy dust. If these things take too long, I don't even try it. Okay....not true. But when it comes to food, under 2 hours and it's for me.

Anywho, this recipe only took a total of 45 minutes. And 40 of those minutes, it's on the stove, cooking, making your house smell heav-en-LY *singing in a heavenly angel voice* It seriously was the 
Best.
Smell
Ever
And to be honest, I wouldn't change a thing about the recipe. It is perfect.

So here is the link to this awesomeness. The only thing that I would suggest, if you like smoother applesauce, is to put it through a blender. It was super easy, and it has a velvety consistency to it.

Enjoy  :)

  1. I guess I'll have to find some apples, different types will give you different flavors, might have to try them all.
