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!

All I can say is, YUMMY!!!!!!!!! I'll never buy store bought again!!!

Yum, this was really good. I only added 2 tablespoons of sugar, left out the cloves, added a cinnamon stick, and used a potato masher to reach the consistency I was looking for. Thanks for the recipe!

I didn't know homemade applesauce was this easy...and so good too! I added a little nutmeg as well and blended it like others suggested (but I think I'll try it with some apple chunks next time). Didn't end up using as much sugar as suggested.

This is a godsend! I always end up with two or three apples leftover from the bag, the ones that are a little soft and not very tasty - they're perfect for applesauce! I love that any apple can be used and I mix and match and lot. Adding the sugar near the end gives me a lot of control over the sweetness. The texture is amazing, I love the lumpy bits. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Oh man, SOOO good! We are moving in a week and so I've been looking for recipes to use up all the food we have. I've have about 5 apples sitting in the fridge for a few months and I thought this looked easy enough. Totally worth it! So easy! I didn't have any cloves, so I just used 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, that tastes great. And I think next time I'd half the sugar, but I'm one of those types to not like my food sweet. I think it's great as is though!!! Good recipe!

I served this w/ 'Minnesota Pork Chops'. I blended all the apples. It was really good - so good, I think people thought it was jarred! Next time, I'll leave some of the apples whole (as suggested).

I don't like cloves and debated using them. I did and OH MY WORD was this awesome!! I used the food processor for 3/4 of this then used a fork just to break up the remaining apples so there would still be large chunks. We had it while it was still warm and oh my word!! Never again will I buy applesauce when I can easily make it. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!! **EDIT: I've made this numerous times now and it's great warm but even better the next day!

Delicious, easy, and so much better than store bought. I've made this several times for my family as well as for company, and it's always a hit.

I've made this recipe twice and both times the applesauce was great! However, i found that when i used fresh apples picked from our tree, it didn't need any sugar. The second time, i used apples that i had frozen and needed the sugar, but used half of what was recommended. It's an easy recipe and i love it!

This was really great!! I made this applesauce to serve with the Magic Spice Cake recipe from this site, and it was a hit! I may never eat applesauce from a jar again!

I added a little nutmeg and it was very good.
