I think I needed to cook these longer than suggested. Mine came out more like just chunks as you can see in the pic I submited. I tried to mash them down a litle, but had no luck. I will also use only half of the cloves next time I make this.

Very simple and very good. I used extremely tart apples, and 1/2 cup sugar was just about right (would probably have used less for "regular" apples). I liked the chunky texture! My husband thinks it would be delicious warm over vanilla ice cream.

This recipe was really easy, although I needed to use less water (about 1/2 a cup only) because I soaked the apples in water with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, although in retrospect I guess it doesn't matter since the cinnamon and cloves are brown :). This recipe tastes exactly like Mott's cinnamon applesauce which I LOVE, but I can pronounce all the ingredients that went into it. I used 6 Fuji apples (I tried this with golden delicious and did not like it - I'm going back to Fuji or Cortland next time - the Fuji won't need any sugar) and 1/8 c sugar, and probably could have gone without, completely. I used 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon cause I love cinnamon, and will leave out the cloves next time. I also might try throwing in some strawberries or other berry. I did need to cook it 5 minutes longer.

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!

Good recipe! It tastes great without adding any sugar and just a little bit more water. (A dash of nutmeg is great too.) A healthy treat!

The only thing I added to this recipe was about 1/8 tsp. nutmeg. I used a potato masher to eliminate the big chunks. We ate it warm and thought it was delicious. My 4-year-old daughter even ate a second helping!

I am usually not the type to rate something, but I thought this recipe was fantastic. Who knew you could make such a treat in 20 minutes. I reduced the amount of sugar drastically because it just did not need it. My question to my husband was "why can't you buy chunky style applesauce"? I loved the chunks of apple. I won't be buying applesauce any longer, this is too easy! Thanks for the recipe.

I LOVE this recipe. I'm not a chunky applesauce person though, so I will run my chopped apples through the food processor after cooking (and cooling!) to make a smoother applesauce.

Not really like applesauce at all. I used a masher to try to get the apples to resemble applesauce more. Thought my toddler daughters would LOVE it but they wanted nothing to do with it. Also, I believe less sugar could be used - maybe half of what this suggests.
