On our property, we have a few apple trees that the previous owners planted. Not sure as to what types of apples, but they are all wonderful for eating and making applesauce.
Homemade applesauce is delicious & simple to make!
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1: Place the apple juice/cider and apple pieces in a large pot over medium/high heat and bring to a boil.
Step 2: Reduce the heat to medium stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning or sticking. Simmer for about 30-45 minutes until the apples are soft, tender and can smash with a wooden spoon. *If you like chunky applesauce, skip step 3.
Step 3: In batches, puree the apples with a food mill.
Step 4: Transfer puree apples back into the pot and add sugar and cinnamon. Heat the applesauce back up and simmer for about 10 minutes. Ready to be served
Step 5: Ladle the applesauce into warm jars and seal.
Step 6: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes.

Thank you Andi for stopping by! Like you, I do enjoy homemade applesauce – so delicious!
I LOVE homemade applesauce. I’ve never tried making it with cider or juice, just water. I’ll have to try it your way next time. Your packaging looks so nice.
There are still some apples left on my apple trees. Andi and you have always used water,I will have to try that instead of cider to see if there is a difference in taste. Thanks for stopping by Lori.
