Grandma's apple mousseline and canning instructions (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
I'm very lucky to have an apple tree in my garden - thanks to the previous owners who planted it! It's the perfect excuse to make a delicious homemade applesauce: a smooth, sweet and slightly tart puree that can be eaten as is, used as a dessert topping or even as an accompaniment to savoury dishes. With or without cinnamon, it's a flavour that inevitably evokes autumn and winter.
