apple days

We've been on an applesauce kick over here: eating and making it. Here's our favorite recipe.

20 apples - we're using a mix made mostly of courtland with a few granny smith and macoun (I think?) thrown in - we take what the farmer's market provides
2 T. cinnamon
1/4 c. turbinado sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 T. vanilla extract
1 c. water

Peel and dice apples. Combine apples with remaining ingredients. Simmer until soft. Use immersion blender to smooth until you achieve the desired consistency.

We keep about 4 cups in the fridge and then freeze the rest in quart-size ziplocs after the applesauce has cooled.
