Applesauce

Absolutely the best applesauce I have ever had in my life! I took WildFamily's advice and omitted the sugar, adding in a tsp of granulated fructose instead. Left it nice and chunky (the way applesauce is supposed to be) and served it as dessert. The only sounds I heard during dessert were mmm's, ahhh's, and the spoons clashing against the dishes, trying to scoop out the last bit. I'm off to pick up more apples now, as the requests for more are becoming incessant :) Thanks Rachel! It's ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

I went to my local grocery store and they didn't have applesauce (strange country I've moved to here), so I grabbed a bag of apples and came home and found this recipe. I used gala apples, which actually took about twice the time to cook. I also reduced the sugar by half, and it still turned out a little on the sweet side, but I know galas are very sweet apples. I made the mistake of not reading directions, and tossed all the ingredients together in a pot to start with rather than adding sugar and cinnamon after, but it didn't seem to affect it other than that I could have tasted it before adding sugar if I had waited. Regardless, I think it turned out very well, and I will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks!

Perfectly simple and delicious recipe for applesauce. I used Macintosh apples and they only took 15-20 minutes to soften. I didn't even have to use the potato masher, just used a fork and the consistency was almost just like store bought. Followed the recipe exactly and it was great!

Super Easy and quick..... this is definately a keeper. I prefer a more mashed up version of applesauce, so once the apples had cooled I put them in the food processor (or blender would work too). I am not a huge fan of cinnamon in my applesauce so I just deleted it. We had a lot of apples left from yesterday's birthday party so I am making applesauce to share :)

This is great and a keeper! I will probably never buy applesauce at the store again. I used 4 Gala apples that we had sitting (because our primary apple-eater is currently out of town). After reading other reviews, I decreased the sugar by a Tablespoon (so I just used 3 Tablespoons), and I used 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice for the spices. It also took my apples about 40 minutes to soften before I mashed them with a potato masher. This was my first time making homemade applesauce, and it was so easy. Thanks for sharing your father's recipe!

Loved this! Delicious! I used dark brown sugar instead of white. Rich flavor that allows the apples to completely shine through! Thank you for posting your Dad's applesauce recipe!

Great recipe. I found some ripe apples in the sale bin, and I thought perfect for applesauce. I only used a tablespoon of sugar and it was perfect! Definitely a keeper!

Your Dad really knew his apples, Rachel! This is the way I have always made my applesauce, sometimes increasing the apple amount, adding just enough sugar to sweeten, water enough to cook the apples and toss in a couple of cinnamon sticks. It couldn't be easier. I whipped up a potful this morning planning to serve it with our crockpot pork chops for dinner tonight. But freshly made applesauce is so tasty, there may not be any left for dinner ; )

Delicious and easy!! I used Rome apples and next time I'll try Granny Smith. My daughter loves this recipe. I ran it thru the food processor to get all the lumps out which made it nice and smoothe...almost too smoothe! This would be a great recipe for those that make homemade baby food.

Why did I think applesauce was going to be so hard to make??!! This was easy and turned out so great. I made this for an applesauce lover so I was hoping it would be a success. I didn't know if I was supposed to keep the lid on during the whole cooking time but I did and just took the lid off every few minutes and gave the apples a stir. Once they started getting real soft I used my wooden spoon and started mashing the apples. I didn't want it totally chunky but it turned out the perfect texture, just a little chunky. I used half cinnamon and half nutmeg. Good warm and great cold!! I used 5 granny smith apples and just a tad more water since I added the extra one.

Perfect Applesauce. I needed applesauce for a Thanksgiving recipe and had tons of apples on hand. This turned out great, easy to make and excellent flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe Rachel I plan to make again soon.

WOW! I love store bought applesauce but this is so much better. I had my first bowlful while it was still warm, and it was out of this world. I will definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Really simple and easy -- great tasting too. I'll probably cut back on the sugar next time. The apples I used were pretty sweet on their own. A super easy treat!

My family went to an apple harvest festival a few weeks ago, and brought home dozens of fresh picked apples. Needless to say, we were looking for a few new recipies to try out. This one is one of our favorites. My toddler boys love applesauce anyway, but the youngest actually squeels when I make this, and they both start chanting "App-bub-bulse". Thanks so much, a keeper for sure! I have tripled the recipe with no problems, I just let it boil a bit longer.
