Homemade Applesauce

HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE.

Your life will never be the same.
This is extremely easy to do, very cheap, healthy, and so incredibly delicious.
The intense apple aroma that filled the kitchen was heavenly.

(Yields about three cups, roughly.)
What You Need:
-5-6 medium-sized apples...I used Fuji apples; Gala would be good too...but any apple you have on hand or available will be just fine...it might be good to mix different types too!
-Enough water to cover the apples up half-way.
-Cinnamon, to taste (optional...but you'd be a fool to leave it out).
-A large pot.
-A food processor/blender/masher...a masher might be more time consuming, but whatever gets the job done!
The Procedure:
-Peel, core, and chop apples into cubes. (Throw peels/cores into your compost pile!)
-Put the apple cubes into a large pot and fill with water until the apples are covered up about halfway.
-Boil until tender...stick a fork into a large cube to check tenderness.
-With a slotted spoon, transfer your cooked apples to your food processor; save the "apple-water" for consistency purposes; throw in some ground cinnamon.
-Process cooked apples until desired chunkiness is achieved. You can leave big chunks if you want, but this time I made mine so that it was smooth, with a little bit of "grittiness"...add whatever amount of the "apple-water" to get the perfect consistency for you.
-Transfer into a container and let cool!

I did not add any sugar; the sweetness of the apples was enough. Leaving out the sugar allows the applesauce to keep its natural taste.

There is no reason to buy applesauce from the store ever again.
I hope you stuff yourself with applesauce this Fall. Enjoy.
