I hope everyone had a wonderful Columbus Day weekend! Remember the 16 pounds of apples that I picked a few weekends ago? Well, it was time to start putting them to good use, so I decided to make some Homemade Applesauce. I like to keep my applesauce simple and showcase the flavors of the apples, so I use apples that are specifically good for sauce, like McIntosh or Macoun. I love to eat my applesauce plain or add it to various foods, like French toast.
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program, I received Bauducco® Panettone with raisins and with chocolate chips. I decided to use the panettone with chocolate chips to make some French toast for breakfast this past weekend. I topped this delicious French toast with some applesauce and maple syrup. It was scrumptious! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 12 apples, McIntosh or Macoun, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup water
- Mason jars, 1 quart and 1 pint, sterilized
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, sugar, and cinnamon.
- In a large stock pot, place water on the bottom and add the apples. Cook on low until the apples become soft, stirring occasionally.
- Add applesauce to mason jars and store in refrigerator.
*Makes 1 quart and 1 pint of applesauce
Look, delicious. Great use for all those apples.

I love homemade apple sauce! It has been too many years since I have had some though. Great recipe!
I love home made applesauce. I make and home can some every year. I don’t know why my brain never thought of using it to top french toast. What a great idea!
Hi Kara, Your applesauce looks lovely and wholesome. I did the same thing with the 20 lbs. of Gravenstein apples I bought in late August – after I made a pie or two!
Holy genius! Applesauce, maple syrup and french toast. Be still my heart! I must try this soon!

Fresh applesauce is the best! I’ve never thought to add it to French toast, what a creative idea. 🙂
