Best Grandmas Apple Sauce Recipes
OLD-FASHIONED APPLESAUCE
We had all kinds of apple trees in the yard when I was growing up, so I don't know for sure which ones Mother liked best for applesauce. (Today I use Cortlands.) I do know that her applesauce was very white. The secret, she said, was to keep the apples in salt water while she peeled them so that they wouldn't darken. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa

GRANDMA'S APPLE SAUCE
My Grandma was famous for her recipes using fruit, whether it be a sauce, salad, or pie. She and Grandpa grew their own fruits including rhubarb which grew like a forest in the warm Michigan summers. Her apple sauce is the best around...and chunky, not slimy! Eating a bite of this will take you back to the glories of the...

GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE MEATBALLS
This is one of my family's favorite 'comfort' foods - by all six generations. Don't let the applesauce scare you off; you can't taste it, but it keeps the meatballs tender and moist. Add mushrooms and/or pearl onions for an even heartier 'comfort' meal! Serve over hot buttered noodles or rice. We like a salad and garlic bread, or a plate of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a large bowl, and stir in the croutons. Allow the croutons to soak up the milk mixture for about 2 minutes. Lightly stir in the applesauce, onion, garlic, Cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper, and mix in ground beef with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form the meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, and place into the prepared baking dish. In the same bowl, whisk together the cream of celery soup with evaporated milk. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and thickened and the meat is no longer pink in the middle, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese 15 minutes before end of baking, and bake until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

GRANDMA'S APPLE SAUCE
I watched my Grandma & Mom work up apples as a young child and when I married, Grandma made sure I knew how to make my own applesauce. My sons loved this growing up and still do today. You can make this with water or apple juice instead of cider if you like. We prefer fresh pressed cider. Don't forget to save the cores and peelings to make Apple Jelly!

Steps:
- Peel, core and cut up apples.
- Place into large heavy pot and add water.
- Cook for medium high heat, stirring often until apples are tender.
- With potato masher, mash the fruit making it the desired consistancy. If you prefer very smooth, no chunks, process in food processor in small batches or use an inmerison blender. We like it semi-chunky so 5 or 6 presses with the masher tool is good.
- Now, taste it. If you prefer sweeter, add the sugar. If you have used nice sweet assorted varities of apples, you may not need to add any sugar. Stir in the salt and cinnamon.
- Carefully ladel into sterilized hot canning jars, place flats and rings on jars. Place in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE PIE
This is one of the recipes I remember most from my childhood. My grandmother always had this on hand for her grandkids who came to visit. It was invented especially for us kids because it had no "chunks" of apple in it. There was no surprise that the adults loved this pie, just as much as we did.
