When my kids were little they loved applesauce. I started making it myself so I could control exactly what was in it. Of course you can peel the apples and blend it to make a fine smooth applesauce. But we love to leave the skins on and we enjoy "texture" in the sauce. Now some may call that lumps - we just call it yummy!

dash salt
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the apples. Quarter, remove seeds and core. Cut into 1 inch dice. You can peel the apples if you prefer, but the red and green skins give the sauce a nice color and an interesting texture.
