351 - Homemade Applesauce
(by Shirley McNevich)
3 lbs. cooking apples (Macintosh, etc.)
2/3 cup white sugar (if apples are tart, you may have to add more)
1 tsp. cinnamon
Wash, peel and core the apples. Cut all apples into quarters. Using a 5-6qt. saucepan, add the apples to the saucepan and 1/2 cup water. On medium heat, bring to a boil--after it comes to a boil, boil for 20-25 minutes until apples are mushy (if you use a lid while cooking, tilt the lid so apples don't cook out). Turn the stove off and let cool for 15 minutes. Using a food mill or a potato masher, mash the apples. If it seems too thick when you're finished, add a little more water and stir. Add the 2/3 cup white sugar and stir completely. Taste--if it's too sour for your taste, add a little more white sugar at a time until you like the taste. Add 1 tsp. cinnamon and stir until dissolved. Cool, then refrigerate in airtight containers.
