Liechtensteiner applesauce called apfelmus is always served alongside the national dish called Kasknofle. It is really easy to make homemade applesauce and it is definitely worth it. You can choose the sweetness or tartness you like based on the type of apple you choose. I used fuji apples because I like the sweetness. You can also regulate the amount of sugar you add as well. This applesauce is cooked with a bit of cinnamon and a half of a lemon to keep it from turning brown. Enjoy!
