Among the Leaves

When I stumbled upon those apples scattered among the fallen leaves the other day while out walking, I decided to gather some to enjoy later at home. What a treat to have warm applesauce today!

Apples found among the leaves.
Washed, peeled, diced, then washed again.

Cooked on the stove.

Boiled, simmered and cooked until creamy.

Sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg added.

Stirred, boiled and simmered some more.

Cooked until creamy.

Poured into containers.

Kept fresh in the refrigerator.
