Delicious! I did forget to cook it after running it through the processor. Also, I added sugar to taste and added some cinnamon. It was so good! We ate it plain and with latkes and pork chops.

I loved this recipe, It was so easy, the only thing I did differently was put the apples in a bowl of water with the lemon juice so they didn't brown as I was peeling and coring the rest. Will make again.

My modifications: used Granny Smith's, no sugar, no water, no lemon juice. Just popped the cooked apples into the blender and pureed. This "naked" applesauce came out just fine - the lemon juice can be added at serving time if desired.

After reading all the comments about the water, when I made this, last night, I drained the apples and put the cooked chunks in the food processor. I suspect the draining part was left out of the recipe's instructions. I added the juice of half a lemon to the cooking water, and the juice of the other half to the pulp in the processor. I used no sugar and old Granny Smiths. It was wonderful, just like that. Then I tried adding a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to a 1 cup serving, which was also wonderful. So, just drain the cooked apples and forget about the water quantity--just use enough to cover the apples, for simmering.

When making this be sure to follow the other reviewers addvice and watch the amount of water that you choose to add. I didn't add any sugar despite the fact that I used Granny Smith apples as I like my applesauce very tart. A great recipe - I won't go back to store bought.

Turned out great! As other viewers said though - cut down the amount of water! I added less water but still had too much. I also added cinnamon and nutmeg and used honey instead of sugar. Great and easy recipe!

Basic recipe is good, however, this called for way too much water. I had juicey Melrose apples and only need a quarter of a cup of water. I also cut back on the sugar and added a goodly amount of cinnamon. Because my apples were so tender, I didn't need to run them thru the food processor. A simple mashing with a potato masher did the trick just fine. Great thing to do with all of those apples after a day of apple and pumpkin picking! Thanks Rachel!

This sauce came out Excellent!! I took advice from other reviews and used only barely enough water to cover and glad i did. It came out nice and thick, not runny. Also used 1 cup brown sugar in place of 1 cup white and 2 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp apple pie spice. Will make again, can't wait to make this for my Dad next time i go to visit.

I chopped up a few HUGE Fuji apples, with the skin left on, and threw it into a saucepan. I used less water than the recipe specified, but it still turned out great. I ran the apples through the blender to chop up the peels and it tasted great! I didn't add any sugar as the apples were sweet enough. Yummy and super healthy!
