It’s easy and it’s healthy and it’s tasty.  My mother showed me how to do this years ago and I prefer it over any brand name sauce.   I make a batch especially for roasted pork or turkey as an alternative to the jelled cranberry crap that everyone serves.  An added bonus?  It sure makes the house smell nice. 

Ingredients

• 5 Apples – cored, peeled and sliced
• 1 cinnamon stick
• ½ to 1 tsp cinnamon depending on your taste
• 1.5 cups of natural apple juice 
  

Method

1. Place all of the ingredients in a medium size saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until apples are saucy.

3. Remove cinnamon stick and blend using an immersion blender or a food processor.  You can blend as smooth or as chunky as you like your applesauce.

4. Remove to a sealed container and refrigerate.

5. Serve cold

Makes about 2 cups of applesauce.
