Making applesauce is one of the simplest things you can do in your kitchen. I don't know why people are awed by the fact that we like to make our own. Just cut up apples, put them in the pot with a little bit of water and every once in a while stir it with a wooden spoon. After about 20 minutes you'll notice a lovely apple aroma filling the kitchen. It can be made with one type of apple or a variety of apples.
Today I'll use Gala, Jonagold, and Empire apples. I usually don't add sugar but that's up to you. You can also add cinnamon or you can put a small piece of vanilla stick into it as it's cooking and then remove it afterward. Serve it chunky or use a blender to make it smooth.
