Sarah's Applesauce

I recently started making my own applesauce in the fall months. Wow, it is much easier than I anticipated and so tasty! My family absolutely adores the homemade stuff now. I found this recipe on the internet and altered it to our tastes. Your house will smell heavenly after you cook this up!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 8  medium apples
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

1. Peel, core, and dice the apples. Place the cut pieces in a large pot.
2. Cover with the remaining 5 ingredients. Stir to evenly coat the apples. (It won't look like much water, but it's enough.)
3. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Let mixture cool for 5-10 minutes. Then puree it in the food processor.
5. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. You can serve it warm or cold.
6. Tip: I use orchard apples, no specific type.
