Applesauce
Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine

Ingredients
3 pounds mixed apples, i.e. Cortland; McIntosh; Golden
Delicious; Gala; etc., cored and quartered
1/2 cup water
3/4 to 1 cup sugar, to taste
Juice of half a lemon
2 teaspoons cinnamon, optional

Directions
In a large saucepan combine the apples, 1/2 cup water
and sugar, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, stirring
occasionally and breaking up the apples, for 20 minutes. When the apples are

tender and the mixture is the consistency of a chunky puree pass the apples
through a food mill and return to the saucepan. Simmer the applesauce, gently,
for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning
with lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Serve the applesauce warm or
chilled.
