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!

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).

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!

I made this as a project with my 3 and 4 year old. It turned out great, though my daughters say they are not found of the cloves. I used a food processor for a smoother consistency that we like.

It is imporant to rememeber that apples come in various forms. Some are sweet, others tart. Some have firm flesh and others soft. Therefore, there is no exact recipe for anything involving apples. With that said, this is a great basis to work from. I used Cortland apples, which had a sweet taste and firm texture. I tasted the apple mixture right before I was supposed to add sugar, and it was sweet enough so I left it out. Then when it was finished cooking, I smooshed its with the back of the spoon to make it smoother, but still chunky. A number of people commented it on not getting it smooth enough. Some advice: use softer fleshed apples, add more water and cook for longer, or use a blender, as previosuly stated. Over all this was a great way to make applesauce!

This was yummy...reminded me of the applesauce my grandma used to make for us, but too sweet for our taste. Best when served warm, and I made it again halving the sugar and adding in some fresh peaches I needed to use up (same amount of peaches as apples). It was delicious!

This was WONDERFUL! I was surprised on how easy and quickly this was to prepare. I used granny smith apples and a bit more cinnamon and served it with ginger bread. Will make again and again and again - Thanks for sharing.

Delicious flavor. I did blend mine in the food processor and I found that it cooked better when I covered the pot with a lid. Overall great recipe and exactly what I was looking for!

I love cinnamon so I added a lot extra (1 tsp.) I only used 1/8 cup sugar since I tasted it and it didn't need anymore. I like my applesauce chunky so I thought this recipe is great. I will make again and again.
