RED DELICIOUS APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Place apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan, and cook over medium heat until very tender, stirring often so that apples do not scorch, about 45 minutes. If necessary, add additional water to apple mixture, up to 1 cup, while apples cook.
• Remove the mixture from heat. Using a potato masher, mash into sauce, leaving some of the chunks. Let cool. If making ahead of time, chill, covered, until ready to use. Allow to warm to room temperature before serving.

PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• I start out peeling/cutting apples using my apple peeler/slicer/corer device. As I take them off the device, I put them in a bowl, sprinkle lemon juice and fruit fresh. I keep doing this until I have enough to start my batch of applesauce.
• Next I put 2 cans of peaches with their juices, some of the apples and blend in a blender at one of the higher speeds.
• You may not need sugar. I omitted it the last time I made the applesauce.
• Play it by ear also if you think you need water.
• Pour into crockpot or dutch oven.
• Note: I do several different batches, so I'm cooking one batch on the stove in my dutch oven on medium high heat/medium and one in the crock pot. I cook it long enough to be hot enough to pour into canning jars.
• Repeat blending process with what's left of your apples and peaches.
• Pour into crock pot or dutch oven.
• Add vanilla extract, ground ginger.
• Add optional cinnamon. I used my Korintje cinnamon. You'll have to taste it and see if you want to add cinnamon.
• If adding sugar, now's the time to add.
• Meanwhile wash canning jars, lids, and bands.
• Sterilize in hot water bath.
• Then take out a few jars at a time, pour applesauce in jars. Put lids and bands on, screw tight, place in water bath for 25 minutes.
• Take out, make sure lids have sealed by pressing lid. I listen for popping sounds and count. If I come across a jar or two that didn't seal, I'll rebath them or even put in a clean jar with new lid. Read your canning instructions that come with jars.

PEACH, APPLE AND CURRANT HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the chopped apples and sauté, stirring frequently, until they're slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to low and add in the chopped peaches, dried currants, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool before forming the hand pies.
• Meanwhile, prepare your pie dough. Working with one crust at a time, unroll the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll the pie dough out into a 13-inch round. Use a 6-inch circle cutter to cut out 3 rounds of pie dough. Place the dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the second crust; you should end up with six 6-inch rounds of pie dough. Reserve leftover pie dough for a later use.
• Working one at a time, place a round of dough on a clean work surface and spoon 1/4 cup filling onto one side of the round. Lift the empty side up and over the filling, creating a half-moon. Use a fork to crimp the edges together, sealing the pie. Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
• To make the egg wash, whisk the egg and a splash of water together in a small bowl. Brush each pie with an even layer of the egg wash and sprinkle on the turbinado sugar if desired. Use a sharp knife to cut an "X" on top of each pie. Transfer the pies to the oven and bake until the pies are golden, 20 to 23 minutes.
