Red Delicious Applesauce Recipes

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.

• I like the texture of having the peels in the sauce.
• Dice them very fine.
• Tumble everything into a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to the slowest simmer you can arrange on your stove so the sauce won't burn on the bottom of the pot.
• Cover, stirring occasionally, until you reach the consistency you want.
• The longer, the finer texture.
• I usually cook it about 3 hours.
