Home Made Applesauce

Delicious home made applesauce

Recipe

Makes approximately 4 cups of Applesauce

Ingredients

8 cups of sliced apples, cored, not peeled

1/2 cup of water

1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar (if substituting sweet apples, no sugar might be needed)

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

Put sliced apples and water into a microwavable bowl or onto the stove.

Microwave

If using a microwave, cover bowl with wax paper.  Cook ten minutes on high.  Stir, and then cook another ten minutes on high.  Stir, and then cook in 2 minute intervals until apples are soft and mushy.

Stove

Cook at a low to medium heat until apples are soft and mushy.  Stir frequently so apples do not stick to the bottom or burn.

Run apples through the food mill or press.  The sauce will go into the bowl, and the peels will be left in the press.  Add spices and sugar to taste.
