I skipped out on the sugar altogether because I felt the apples would be sweet enough. I did modify, but this is a great base recipe otherwise.

A good basic recipe. Add some cinnamon or other spices to make it 5-star-worthy!

I found this recipe simple to understand and easy to follow. However, I used overripe Gala and Fuji apples, which are already very sweet and tart - which made it possible to make the applesauce without any sugar added! Also, some cinnamon would have made it a bit more palatable. But it did go well with my latkes!

I've made this several times and love how easy it is to end up with a GREAT taste! We like a super-smooth appleasauce, so I use my immersion blender right in the pot. Sugar can be adjusted according to taste/type of apples; can add cinnamon or red hots or as written: all are winners!

made this today, it was so good and easy to make Like other reviewers I didn't use the full cup of sugar I used 3/4 and added a sprinkle of cinnamon. My kids could not eat it fast enough. I just used a potato masher to break up the apples to the texture I was looking for.

I made this in my slow cooker, reduced the water to 1/2 cup but otherwise followed the recipe. I didn't spend too much time chopping the apples. I cut them in chunks and mashed them with my potato masher once they were soft. This applesause has a very fresh, clean apple taste. Although I love spices, this recipe is perfect as is. I will make this again.

I'd never made applesauce before. This became my "go to" recipe this fall. We use freshly picked apples of a sweet and tart variety - 8 lbs total. I used my smoothie maker to puree and the consistency was wonderful. I added no sugar, 1/2 tsp each nutmeg & cinnamon and juice of 1/2 a lemon. I also drained the apples and thank those who added that helpful hint. I kept back some of the water, refrigerated it and replaced normal tap water with it to make morning oatmeal and cream of wheat. My kids can't get enough of this applesauce! Thanks for sharing. This was really easy to make.

Great basic recipe - I used Empire apples, treated in lemon water to prevent browming, so at first I added no sugar but after cooking and pureeing the apples I found it too tart for my taste buds, never mind my daughter's. So I added half the sugar and it came out perfect - not too sweet, just slightly tart, and very fresh-tasting. I'll probably make a sugarless batch to use in baking, regardless of the apple type.
