Gotta love those single serving sizes
This is a twist on applesauce. It freezes just as well as the regular, and is an excellent addition to many pastries and pies. The sorghum can be changed to brown sugar, but it will not be quite the same.
Brandied Apple Sauce
- 3 lbs apples cored, skinned and chopped into small dice
- 1 cup brandy
- 1 cup water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 3-5 tbsp sorghum
- Dash salt
In a stock pot place apples, brandy, cinnamon stick, cloves and water. Cook over medium heat until thick and apples crush easily with fork. Mash apples and add salt and sorghum to taste. Cook until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
This sounds like a great idea but shouldn’t it come with a little umbrella or some garnish?
This little sauce is asking for a little pork loin to hang out with it… Yum
This sounds like a serious apple sauce Greg, very sophisticated flavours jazzing up an old favourite. Years and years ago we were visiting friends in Switzerland and they kindly took us to Appenzell Switzerland where they make the famous Appenzeller Cheese. We had an absolutely amazing, local specialty, Appenzeller Mac and Cheese and with it they served apple sauce; we were hooked. This rendition of apple sauce would be perfect with Appenzeller Mac and Cheese.
How about using maple syrup instead of sorghum syrup?
I think that would work, but use less. Maple has a stronger flavor then sorghum. Maybe a mix of syrup and brown sugar.
A dollop on a cheese plate, and I’m all set for dinner!
Looks delicious – and seems pretty versatile, for everything from a snack to a meat sauce. Yum!
That is the best kind of twist on applesauce!
oh! wow that sounds good!
Oh! Can’t wait to see you what you do with this stuff! A dessert, perhaps?
We had it as a dessert itself and then in another dessert. You’ll see..
Ooo, very intrigued. Nice.
Oh yes! Why haven’t I done this yet?! I bet a dollop would be delicious on a grilled pork chop!
I was sure it was going to have candied ginger in it. I could almost taste it.
This. Is. Brilliant. I’m definitely putting this on my weekend to-do list.
I am not a huge applesauce eater. In fact, I don’t eat it at all because it reminds me of baby food. But yours look scrumptious.
Don’t feed this one to a baby!
