Classic Applesauce image

Making a simple, chunky applesauce, this recipe comes from the 2005 cookbook, Get Saucy. I prefer using either Mcintosh or Pippin apples for this sauce, & making a double batch allows for freezing some for later! [NOTE: in Oct 2009 I did try this using Fuji apples & it turned out VERY WELL, & I've now changed to using the apple cider!]

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs apples, peeled, cored, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a medium-size, heavy saucepan, combine apples, sugar & water & bring to a boil.
