I will never buy applesauce again. I love this recipe! I've already made it about a dozen times, and it never lasts more than a few days. This fall, I bought several pounds of apples to make an enormous batch to put in the freezer so I can have it all winter. The only change I made is that I put the applesauce through a food mill to give it a smoother consistency.

I halved this recipe for just my hubby and I and served this still warm with a pork roast, hands down, the best applesauce I have ever had. So easy to make, only takes a few minutes of prep time. Used an immersion blender instead of potato masher. Highly recommend and will def. make again.

This is awesome, and while it is suggested to enjoy while it is warm, it is that much more enjoyable when chilled. It seems that the apple sauce congeals when chilled giving it more substance. My wife and daughter really enjoyed this and said it was better than my Grandmothers...
