Ingredients
- 3- 4 pounds apples
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
To make the Apple Sauce
- Gather ingredients and supplies. Wash and scrub the apples, trimming off any blemishes and scabs.
- Cut apples in half to check for infestation.
- Add the apples to a heavy non-reactive pot. Add the water to keep the apples from sticking. Cover the pot and cook until the apples are quite soft, adding more water if necessary.
- Press the cooked apples through a Foley Food Mill.
- Puree until you've reached your desired consistancy.
- Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.
Can the applesauce:
- The applesauce may also be canned for pantry storage. 1-½ pounds of apples yields about 1 pint of applesauce
- Spoon the sauce into jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Run a knife through the jarred sauce to remove air bubbles. Tighten lids. Process in a boiling water bath, 15 minutes for pints and 20 minutes for quarts.
