Everyone has been asking me for the recipe I use for my home made applesauce , so I thought id finally share it. You can modify it however you see fit.

I got this recipe from Coles Granny Sharron , as I am a big fan of her applesauce and apple butter and she gives me some every year for Christmas and it never makes it home with me!

Applesauce is super easy to make. I make mine slightly diffrent because I love mine chunky!

I do not know the PHE or Calories.

To make this recipe do the following,

Have a big pot with a thick bottom

add 3 cups of water to pot.

Peel and core 40 Macintosh or Spartan Apples.

Slice apples add to water.

Bring to boil

stir and simmer on low heat until moist, stir occasionally

add 1 1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute like stevia ( can also make with out sugar)

add 1 tablespoon Cinnamon

Simmer on low heat until Applesauce is the texture you desire. I like mine chunky. I mash with potatoe masher to break up the bigger pieces.

use a ladled and applesauce to cans. When I make this recipe I have 10 pint cans.

To Can Applesauce:

10 Pint Cans and 86 mm lids.

Small Canning pot with wire rack

Fill pot and boil water

add 4 cans to water at time. Make sure the water is covering the lids.

boil on high for 20 mins. Remove cans with tongs and kitchen mits.

Continue process until All cans are done.

Leave cans out on the counter to cool, when you hear lids pop they are done. If you don’t hear them pop, press the lids, if they snap or bounce back they are not done. Lids should be flat and should not be able to press.

Once cool , chill in fridge!

Serve as desired.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. Applesauce is a huge must have in my house. I use to by the snack packs of the motts fruitsations sweetened original applesauce, or the strawberry. I prefer the western family brand. However I was going though many packages as I eat applesauce every night with dinner. I usually ended up buying 2 or 3 packages every time we went grocery shopping insuring we always had a good stock and that I didnt run out.

Now I totally prefer making my own!

Please let me know if you try this and what you think :)
