 Categories: Five, Fruits, Herbs
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      6    Sprigs fresh thyme
      4 lb Red and/or green cooking
           - apples, cored, in chunks
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Granulated sugar
           Brown sugar (opt)
           Fresh thyme sprigs (opt)
 
  Tie thyme sprigs with clean kitchen string. In 8-qt. Dutch
  oven combine apples, thyme, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to
  boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes or until
  apples just begin to break up, stirring occasionally.
  Remove thyme. With potato masher or large spoon mash
  apples slightly. Sweeten to taste with granulated sugar.
  
  Cool completely. Ladle applesauce into half-pint freezer
  containers, leaving a 1/2-inch head space; seal and label.
  Store 3 weeks in refrigerator or up to 6 months in
  freezer. Makes about 7 half-pints (12, 1/2-cup servings).
  
  Stir before serving. Sprinkle with brown sugar and thyme.
  
  SLOW-COOKER METHOD: Place apple chunks in a 5 or 6 quart
  slow cooker. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and 4 to 6 inches stick
  cinnamon (omit thyme and water). Cover; cook on high-heat
  setting 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until apples are very tender.
  Cool mixture 1 hour; remove cinnamon. Mash slightly with a
  potato masher, or process with an immersion blender or
  food processor. Sweeten to taste with granulated sugar.
  Stir before serving.
  
  TO FREEZE: Quick-cool applesauce by placing Dutch oven or
  slow cooker liner in sink filled with ice water; stir
  mixture to cool. Ladle into wide-top freezer containers,
  leaving 1/2" head space; seal, label and freeze.
