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

4   cups unsweetened apple juice or cider
5   pounds cooking apples, peeled and quartered
1/3 – 2/3   cup sugar depending on the sweetness (optional)
2   teaspoons cinnamon (optional)

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.
