Apple Sauce is a really easy to make. The recipe consist of apples. That's it.
Ingredients:
Apples - any kind and any amount you have
Tools:
Large pot
Food mill
Wooden Spoon
Potato Masher
Canning pot and tools
Directions:
Loosely chop the apples into quarters. Keep the skins and seeds and eveything. Throw all the apples in the pot with about 1/4 inch of water and cook down. Once the apples have started to give up some liguid, use the wooden spoon to stir and prevent burning. As the apples soften, use the potato masher to get the apples into a mashed mix.
Once the mixture is softened, put it through the food mill. Place the apple sauce into sterilized jars. Use a water canner and process for 15 minutes.
If you want it even easier, cut off all the skins, cut and core the apples before placing in the pot. Cook and mash down as described above and then put it in the jars. It is chunkier but easy and the kids can help.
There is no need to add sugar unless you want it to be sweet. If you do, add sugar to taste. You can add cinnamon to taste if you like that as well. I like it just plain.
