Last night I made homemade applesauce for the first time in my life. It is so easy! This morning for breakfast I had this delicious, thick, homemade applesauce with cinnamon sprinkled on top.
I used fuji, cameo, and delicious apples of the red and gold variety. I used 20 medium-sized apples which made about a gallon of applesauce.

Ingredients:
20 apples of any variety, unpeeled, cored, cut into quarters
1 cup sugar
3 cups water
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup sugar
3 cups water
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
In a large saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until apples are soft.Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher. After mashing, remove the biggest pieces of apple peel. The peel comes off of cooked apples much easier than it does on raw apples.
If you'd like, you can freeze the applesauce in freezer bags. Store any remaining applesauce in the fridge.
This recipe is a great way to use up apples if you have an abundance. You can also use applesauce as a healthy substitute for oil in recipes.
