Apple Sauce and Lil' Kim p**sy

On Mondays I cook...

Today I'm making homemade apple sauce and it felt incredibly weird to hear the lyric "Little Kim P**sy, how preposterous is that?" while doing so.
Home made apple sauce, Lil Kim, apple sauce, Lil Kim....

My inspiration for cooking comes from pretty usual places - restaurants, family recipes, seasonal standards, etc. Today's apple sauce idea comes from the boyfriend's mom, which is probably the most common.

"You just fill a pot with enough water to cover the bottom, add sliced apples a boil. Last time I made it, my husband and I were sitting on the porch and I forgot about it. When I came back, it was ready. Then just add in sugar and cinnamon to taste."

My mind was made up - eating apple sauce is easy and making it sounds easy too.
I even found whole bags of red delicious apples on sale for 99 cents at Shop Rite today!

And then I got home... apparently apples are not very easy to peel. But I think most people can figure it out so I'll proceed.

No-measure Ingredients:
Water
Apples
Sugar
Cinnamon

Steps:
1.) Add enough water into a pot to cover the bottom
2.) Toss in as many chopped apples as you'd like to eat
3.) Consult with internet - to cover or not cover pot
4.) Cook over medium heat until boiling, turns out covering is optional
5.) Marvel in the smell once the water boils, cover and continue boiling
6.) Stir occasionally
***Shoot, the water disappeared and I see burnt apples in my future. I just added another cup of water and reduced the heat to a low medium. The apples are getting soft though***

Okay so maybe I can't just boil until it looks like mush.

7.) Mash apples with fork or potato masher, adding a little water if needed
8.) Lower heat and simmer, covered.
9.) Once you're happy with the consistency, add sugar and cinnamon to taste.
