Fantastic! Super easy to make. I love that it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup like the jarred stuff. My family will be eating this from now on. Using the bruised apples in the discount section of the supermarket, a triple recipe cost me about $2.

Thought the recipe was excellent--I cut back the sugar to 1/4 cup because the apples I used were sweet enough. I put the applesauce in a processer just to chop it up a bit more---was like having apple pie without the crust. My DH said he would prefer to have this than store bought applesauce. A nice healthy treat on a cool fall night....thanks

This was very tasty. Even my husband who generally prefers bought applesauce said it was not bad (high praise!!). I did however put it in the food processor after cooking to get a smoother consistency. It was a good and yummy way to use up excess apples I had in the house.

Great recipe! Was fantastic both hot & cold. Only changes: added an extra apple, a wee bit less spices, and a sprinkle of powdered vitamin C (to help prevent browning). I put it into the food processor since my kids like their applesauce smooth. I'm hoping to make more tomorrow! yum!

This was phenomenal! It tastes just like the chunky spiced applesauce I used to buy at Trader Joes in the US! They don't sell good applesauce here in Sweden. We left out the sugar because we used golden delicious apples which are pretty sweet and the apple sauce was perfect without it! Thanks, couldn't be easier either!

This was very good. I did blend in the blender for a smooth consistency. Also, I added sugar to taste which probably only amount to 1/4 cup or less. I omitted the cloves as I didn't have any on hand. I eyeballed the cinnamon and added a bit more after blending. Overall, very good!

The only thing I would do differently is chop the apples into small little pieces, then cook, then I mashed the pieces up to make it more like sauce. Before mashing, I drained a little liquid first. Then after mashing, you are able to put on stuff. Other than that, it tastes great.

Excellent recipe. It is the first time I have made applesauce and I am very impressed. The texture is great and the flavor is wonderful. I wasn't sure about the cloves so only used a bit, but after it was simmering for a while found I could add the full amount of cloves and it was very tasty. I have printed it off and it will be my one to use every year. Thank you

Very good recipe! Next time I'll double the amount of cinnamon and use less water. The cloves make it taste and smell like Christmas!

Great applesauce recipe! It was chunky which I like but the kids I found out like theirs on the smooth side.

Very good applesauce. I went ahead and pureed mine because I was looking for a smooth consistency. I also followed other reviewers advice and cut the sugar a lot. The simplicity of this recipe makes the results very gratifying.

I used pink lady apples, leaving the peels on, because I like the difference in texture. Gave some still warm and freshly made to my husband. The verdict? "Yum! and I don't even like applesauce." I am serving it tomight with potato pancakes ans sliced leftover pork roast. I will always make homemade applesauce from now on. Mmmmmmmmm.

I am not sure if it would be better the next day there was none left to save. I did like leaving the peel on the apple. It gave it a better slightly better colour and taste.

When I made this recipe I used 3 different types of apples, and left out the cloves. It was very good, except I found that even after adding only half the sugar it was almost too sweet. I also pureed it in the blender after it had cooled to give it the consistancy I wanted.

My kitchen smells heavenly! Boyfriend came in from working outside and after one whiff, he couldn't wait to sample this. We both agree, this is a winner! I, too, was a little hesitant about adding the pinch of cloves, but it's the absolute right thing to do. As another reviewer suggested, sample the apples before adding the sugar to determine how much you want to add. Great way to use apples that are no longer crisp for out-of-hand eating. I cannot believe how easy and rewarding this is. Thanks for this submission!
