Cubmaster’s Favorite Apple Recipes

Pack Master’s Applesauce
4 medium apples
½ cup water
¼ cup sugar

Peel, quarter and core apples. Place apples and water in sauce pan. Cover and simmer 10 minute or until apples are very tender, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. For a smooth applesauce, put apples through a food mill. Stir in sugar. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Makes about two cups. Great on French toast, pancakes or ice cream.

1/3 cup butter ½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar 1/3 cup fruit juice
1 egg ¾ cup golden raisins
2 cups flour ¼ cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. baking power 1 cup peeled, finely chopped tart apples
