Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds tart red-skinned apples, such as McIntosh
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Remove the stems from the apples, but do not core or peel. Coarsely chop the apples. Combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the apples are completely soft, about 20 minutes. Uncover, and continue to cook, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and pass the mixture through the fine-holed disc of a food mill. Discard the peels and seeds. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Cook's Note. This applesauce goes well with pork chops or potato pancakes since it is not too sweet. If a sweeter sauce is preferred, add sugar to taste, while the applesauce is still warm.

Best applesauce I have ever tasted. I'll never buy applesauce again, nor will I make any other sauce.

Appleious Apple Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was Great Applesauce. I made it two different times. First time just like it said on the receipt but I used a variety... of apples and Asia pears. Second time I substituted brown sugar for the white sugar, added a TBS pure vanilla, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 cup lemon juice and ? cup water. After cooking it for the 20 minutes I took out the excess water and that made the best cider. Drank ? and then added it to the mixture when I put it through a food processor. It was nice and thick but very smooth. I think the key is using a variety of apples and a couple of Asian Pears. I garnished with thin slices of Asian Pears.Read more

Deliscious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is great. I'm not a fan of sweet applesauce so this recipe was perfect. I used it to top pork chops (breaded in... flour and parmisagn cheese) and it was awesome! My girls really enjoyed it as a side. I highly recomend this recipe!Read more
