Homemade applesauce is so good in the fall!
Ingredients
  • Desired amount of apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • water
  • honey to taste
  • cinnamon to taste
  • white sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Peel, core, and slice your apples. I use the apple peeler, corer, & slicer from Pampered Chef.
  2. Cut them in half and start piling them up in a large stock pot. Fill the pot as full as you want. Remember the apples do cook down a lot.
  3. Add enough water to your stock pot until it is almost to the top of your apples.
  4. Bring them to a boil and then turn down the heat enough so they don't overflow but they are still boiling. Make sure you stir them often.
  5. Continue to cook the apples down for about 2 hours and they are basically mushing apart and very soft. I prefer to leave my apples more of a chunky style but at this point you can use an immersion blender if you want, or let them cool a little and put them in the blender if you like your applesauce blended up.
  6. Add in your desired amount of honey and cinnamon and stir it up. If you like your applesauce sweeter then add in some white sugar.
  7. Pour into a dish or container for storing.
Notes
This is also good served over vanilla ice cream for a dessert!
