The newest thing here at Lacuna Loft…cooking videos! Check out our very first one, led by the very talented Brandie! She walks you through how to make applesauce. A very healthy (and easy) treat for during or after active treatment. The video is great…almost like you’re actually in Brandie’s kitchen hanging out while she cooks for you!
Fall is here. Â The season of pumpkin spice, cooler weather, changing leaves, and…APPLESAUCE!
With apples, a touch of water, and a dash of sugar and cinnamon we arrive at a lovely snack, breakfast, or dessert. Â Easy to eat when your stomach is on the fritz and a very healthy addition to any day.
To check out how we made our delicious, homemade applesauce, go here.
Applesauce is a great and healthy snack whether you’re a caregiver, in treatments, or into survivorship.  With help from this video, it took me less than an hour to peel, chop, and cook 6 large apples into a batch of delicious homemade applesauce.  I used Jonagold apples but you can use different kinds of apples in the same batch or a different apple all together.  I even watched a few episodes of Friends while I was at it!  🙂  (anyone else loving the fact that Netflix now has the whole series?)
I peeled, cored, and chopped the 6 apples. Â Then I placed the apples in a pot with 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Â I covered the apples and cooked them on medium heat until they cooked down. Â This took about 30 minutes but I watched them carefully.
What do you think? Â Have you ever made homemade applesauce before? Â My grandmother always cooks it with a handful of red hots. Â It gives the applesauce a little zing, and a great pink color.
