Yes as you can see I am making homemade apple sauce in June but hay, I felt like it! I followed the recipe exactly and added water instead of juice and that worked great too. But when I mashed the apples they did not mash so I put them on high heat for two minutes and they still did not mash. I put them in a blend and then it worked. I also had put aside and had strained the juice cause there was to much. In the end U made my own recipe of how to make apple cider and sauce at the same time.
