Applesauce
I love having fruit in the house. And apples tend to have a long shelf life, especially when kept in the fridge. After a certain point I find the apples get mushy and are not appealing to eat. When this happens applesauce is a great alternative.
I have my 5 year old get to work peeling them for me and I cut them into chunks. How small of chunks is a personal preference, I like mine rather big. I place them in a pan and add enough water to cover them. Then add sugar and cinnamon to taste, and let cook, stirring occasionally until they turn opaque. This last weekend we accompanied pancakes with the fresh applesauce. So much better tasting than store bought and frugal too!
