Old Fashioned Applesauce
4 Pounds Apples, Peeled, Cored and Thinly Sliced (About 12 large apples)
1 cup Sugar
½ cup to 1 cup Hot Water
¾ tsp Ground Cinnamon (Optional)
1
In a large Dutch oven, kettle or pot mix the apples, sugar and cinnamon.
2
Let stand for 30 minutes until juices start to form. Stir once or twice.
3
Cook covered over very low heat until very juicy, about 10 minutes.
4
Continue cooking over medium heat until soft and desired thickness for about 20 to 30 minutes.
5
During those 20 to 30 minutes, watch the apples carefully so they do not scorch or burn. You may add the 1/2 cup to 1 cup of hot water at this time to help with that.
6
When the apples are done, you can either mash them with a potato masher to make them more like applesauce or blend them on low speed in a blender.
