Apple Sauce

So what do you do when you buy 8 lbs of apples at a stellar price yet they are all differents shape, variety and have little bruises and dings in them? Why make it all into applesauce of course!
I can't remember the last time I ate applesauce from a plastic cup or out of a glass jar from the grocery store. Nor do I feel comfortable buying all the packaging just for applesauce. The taste difference between store bought and homemade are so vast that unless you try homemade you'll be fine with the tasteless liquified stuff you buy at the store. However once you make it from scratch....you'll never touch the other again.

When I taught my girlfriend how to make applesauce she just shook her head at me. How could it really be that easy?? Trust me..it is. Slice about 10 apples into quarters and core them. You can take off the skins if you'd like to skip the straining process at the end or you can leave the skins on. Depending on the type of apple you use it  can give you pink applesauce!
Over low heat in a large pot simmer your apples in about 4 cups of water. Allow it to cook down until it turns into the "applesauce" texture. Strain through a sieve or food mill if you left the skins on previously. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Serve warm or cold. That's right folks...that's it.
