Too many apples?  Make Applesauce.  True for any fruit: apples, apricots, plums, pears, peaches, pineapples. . .  Adjust this recipe depending on how many you have.  Serve it warm or cold, alone or on pancakes, waffles, with a scoop of cottage cheese for breakfast.  You could even use it to make fruit muffins.

Combine chopped fruit and remaining ingredients.  Simmer, covered for about 10 minutes.  Uncover, stir and simmer on low another 10 minutes or so, until most of the liquid has cooked away and the fruit is soft.  Be Creative = Happy Cooking! . . Lin
