I use a combination of apples with lots of red mackintosh. I core. cut in quarters and leave the skins on, gives the sauce a nice pink color. Strain them after cooking We prefer a bit less sugar. Also add cinnamon. (To taste)

Very good, but I didn't use that much water or sugar--I cut both in half. I didn't want to strain the apples, and I had Red Delicious, which can be sweet, so I didn't want the applesauce to be too sweet. There's another recipe on here that I tried that I like a bit better because it calls for cinnamon (I LOVE cinnamon), but this is a plain applesauce you can add almost anything too. I had to simmer for another 10-15 minutes to get it to the right mushiness for applesauce. It would be good for recipes since it is so plain. I smoothed it out in the food processor for a lovely applesauce. Thanks for the recipe!

This was ok. A part of my family liked it, but some didn't (including me). I think there was too much lemon juice in it.

It was awesome. Did not peel the apples, just put them in the Vita-Mix and it was great. Did not use as much sugar as suggested, and rather put in sucanat sugar. Loved it!!!

I loved this recipe and so did my 3 year old. Before it even cooled, she asked for 2 servings of it. She is my best critic! What I did was use approx. 2.5 to 3lbs of apples, some were Macintosh and few were Red Delicious. I also included the only pear that I had. I followed the directions and placed them iin the blender. I did peel 4 peaches, freshly picked and added those to the mixture in blender. I added 4 tbls of sugar a dash of cinnamon and I grated fresh nutmeg to my taste! It is absolutely yummy! I will make this again next time with 1.5 lbs of pears and 1.5 lbs of apples! Can't wait!

I buy 6 bushels of apples in the fall and freeze applesauce to last all year. It is much easier to just quarter the apples and cook them with the peels on, then run it thru the food mill. Saves alot of time.

Instead of sugar and cinnamon I use the little red cinnamon heart candies that I buy around Valentines Day. Stir in to taste and you will have a beautiful pink coloured apple sauce that has cinnamon as well. Looks and tastes great.

Super quick and easy, and so good! I used half the amount of sugar and substituted brown for white, as well as adding a bit of cinnamon. For those complaining of too much water, drain your apples before mashing them.
