Oh yum! I made this last night with a bag of supercheap organic apples from my superpricey neighborhood organic market. I cut the apples into slightly smaller pieces and left the skins on about half of them for fiber and vitaminy goodness. I don't think I've ever made applesauce before - I'm impressed at how sweet and rich it tastes without adding anything to the apples at all!


My kids will love this!




what kind of apples? no one seems to name what kind of qpples to use in all these recipies.


@jcand I'm sure you can use any kind of apples you want depending on the flavor that you want. (:


That's exactly right; any kind of apple will make a good applesauce. If you are using it for something where you want a nice tartness, then go for a tarter apple; a blend works fine too. If you just want applesauce and aren't fussy, use the apples you have!


How many apples is 1 pound?
