Applesauce

Series 11 - Oktoberfest, Episode 5
Applesauce (Apfelmus)

Applesauce is a traditional (and delicious!) accompaniment to German bratwurst & sausages, roast pork, potato pancakes, German pancakes, and just about any German food, sweet or savory.

It's very easy to make, and tastes so much better than store-bought.

Series 11 - Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest is much more than just the largest beer festival in the world - it’s a massive cultural celebration with deep historical roots.

Despite the name, most of the event takes place in late September and only runs into the first weekend of October, shifting back to September over 100 years ago to take advantage of better weather.

The beer served is specially brewed for Oktoberfest. It’s a stronger, maltier lager called “Märzen” brewed by just 6 officially sanctioned Munich breweries.

The food served is just as important as the beer! Traditional Oktoberfest dishes we will cover in this series include: Hendl (Oktoberfest Chicken), Brezn (Bavarian Pretzels), Spätzle (tiny dumplings), Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), and Rotkohl (braised red cabbage). We’ve also added 3 other traditional German dishes to the series.

Prost!! (cheers!)
