Homemade Applesauce!

Cheap apples at the stores this week - made me really wan to make this:

Homemade canned applesauce!

I searched the Internet high and low and didn't find a recipe I liked so

I took a whole bunch and combined them all!

Start by washing your apples!

Core and slice your apples.

Then peel them.

Place peeled apples in a large dutch oven.

Add 1.5 cups of water.

 Add 1/2 cup brown sugar.

(You could do sugar free but I used "sour" granny smith's)

Add 1 cinnamon stick - for a light cinnamon flavor.

If you love cinnamon applesauce increase to 2-4.

Bring the water at the bottom to a boil over high heat.

Then stir.

Cover and cook on medium heat for 30-35 minutes.

Stirring every 15 minutes.

When they are done cool for a minute or two!

Puree with a stick blender stuck right into the pot.

Here is your end product!!!!!
