Recipe: Oven-Roasted Applesauce Scented with Rosemary and Vanilla
Summary: The clean, pure flavor of apples caramelized in the oven shines through, with notes of rosemary and fragrant vanilla, in this rustic oven-baked applesauce.
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 ½-3 pound apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (I used a mix of Fuji, Honeycrisp and Green Dragon; use what you like)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Heilala vanilla paste [1]
- 1 teaspoon boiled apple cider
Instructions
- Lightly brush some olive oil in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Turn oven on to 375 degrees.
[2] - Add apples to baking dish, sprinkle with rosemary and bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes. Test apples with a knife to make sure they are soft.
[3] - If done, remove dish from oven, add butter, salt, vanilla paste and boiled cider. Mash with a potato masher, right in the dish, until apples are chunky and everything is mixed well. (Butter will melt into the hot apples.)
- Scrape into a serving bowl and either serve warm, or serve at room temperature.
- Serves 4-6.
