This is a favorite on crisp fall mornings. We like chunky applesauce served warm.

Yield: Six cups

INGREDIENTS

5 pounds apples (preferably a tart variety or mix of varieties—Jonathans, Granny Smiths, Pippins, or Winesaps), peeled and sliced
1½ cup water or cider
¾ cup sugar or honey
dash of lemon juice (optional)
dash of cinnamon to taste
dash of vanilla to taste

Directions

Combine apples, water and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until just tender. Mash a bit with a potato masher for a chunky texture. Add lemon, cinnamon, and vanilla, as desired.
