Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 1/2 pounds McIntosh apples (about 10), peeled, cored, and quartered
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 to 1 cup sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan combine the apples, 3/4 cup water, the lemon juice, and the sugar, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally and breaking up the apples, for 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture is the consistency of a chunky purée. Increase the heat and boil the mixture, stirring, for 4 minutes, or until it is thickened. (The mixture will spatter.) Serve the applesauce warm or chilled.
