Apple Sauce, Batch 2

[jennythereader]

Tonight I made a second batch of apple sauce. I made a few slight changes to the recipe and I'd say that this version is just as good.

+ More varied apples: Where the first batch was mostly one type of apple, this batch was split fairly evenly between two types. I think this made the flavor a little more complex and interesting.
+ Less sugar: I reduced the sugar from 2 TBSP to 1. The first batch is a bit too sweet for me, and this was better. I might even leave the sugar out of the next batch.
- Less water, and
- Longer intervals between stirring: I scorched the sauce at the bottom of the pan. I blame these two changes for that.
* Same amount of cinnamon. Enough that it smells wonderful while cooking, but not enough that you can really taste it in the finished sauce. I'll use more in the next batch.

I was thinking about adding ginger! How much do you usually put in?

Measuring? What? :) I do it to taste, as with the sugar and the cinnamon, because the apples are always different.

All I need is a ballpark. Is it usually closer to a TBSP or a cup?

Teaspoon. Or go with fresh and grate some in directly.

Thank you! I'll probably give that a try for the next batch.
