Instructions
Slice, peel and core your apples. If you plan on making a lot of apple products in your future, it is well worth your while to purchase a corer, slicer, peeler! See my notes above for the link.
Place all of your ingredients into a pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat and simmer for approximately 45-60 minutes. Stirring every 10-15 minutes being careful not to burn your applesauce.
Once thoroughly cooked, use an immersion blender or food processor to blend your applesauce to your desired consistency.
If you plan on canning your applesauce please see the notes below and keep your applesauce HOT. If not, you can place it in jars and store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
This applesauce also freezes well and will store for up to a year.
