Chunky French Applesauce image

This will keep covered tightly for up to 4 days ahead, make certain to add in the sugar at the end of cooking, it makes a difference in the texture of the applesauce, the complete recipe can be doubled and the applesauce can be cooled and frozen in 1/2 - 1 cup plastic containers, this applesauce freeze well, use it in cakes and muffin recipes to add moistness, or simply as a dessert, it's much better than the store-bought and much cheaper too!. We love this sprinkled with brown sugar on top!
