Once you make this applesauce and see how EASY it is and how GREAT it tastes, you will wonder why you ever bought the store variety. You can pretty much use any apple here. I tend to use organic Fuji apples but use whatever apple you like best. Keep in mind that some apples are sweeter than others so you may want to adjust the sugar content in this recipe to suit your taste buds accordingly. When you are boiling the apples, don’t fret if it looks like there is too much water. Once you mash the apples, it will take on the consistency we are all used to seeing.

Ingredients

4 apples
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Procedure

Peel, core and chop the apples into 1-2 inch pieces. In a medium saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are soft, approximately 20 minutes. Uncover and cool, then mash with a potato masher.
