Applesauce

    Ingredients

    · 3 lbs. mixed apples (I use 1 lb. each, granny smith, yellow delicious, and a red)
    · 3/4 cup water
    · 3/4 cup sugar
    · 2 tbsp. lemon juice
    · cinnamon to taste


    Peel, core and quarter the apples. If you have an apple peeler/corer/slicer this makes the prep a lot easier.

    In a large pot, combine apples, sugar, and water. Bring to boil. Then cover, lower heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occassionally.

    Once apples are tender, either puree them in a food processor or run them through a food mill. I usually leave some of the apples out the puree process so there are some chunks left for the finished applesauce.

    Place apples back into pot, and add lemon juice and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir and simmer for 10 mintues to thicken.
