Homemade Applesauce

Applesauce is so easy to make and is

 great on toast or served as a condiment
 with pork or chicken, and is great to have 

on hand for Applesauce Cake or Muffins.

I have an apple tree with transparent apples

and used them in this sauce.

A large variety of apples may also be used,

especially a combination of different apples.

Ingredients:

12 transparent apples

1 cup water

2 tbsp. lemon juice. 

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

This recipe yields about 5 small jars. 

Directions
 Core, peel and chop apples.

I use this gadget that saves a lot of time

 "Applemagic" or "Pommemagique" in french. 
In a few seconds, the apple is peeled, cored and sliced

I chop them up.

As I am chopping up the apples, 

I place them in a large bowl

 with cold water,  with about 1 tbsp.

 of salt, to keep them from turning brown. 

When the chopping is finished,

 I rinse all the chopped apples in cold water and 

place in a large pot with  the 2 tbsp. lemon juice,

 one cup of water (and cinnamon, optional)

 Bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat and simmer until apples 
are soft, 25 to 30 minutes.

Mash with a potato masher until smooth.

  Place in sterilized jars

or containers to freeze.
