This recipe originally accompaniedPotato Pancakes with Zucchini and Sage. It takes very little sugar to enhance the natural sweetness of fresh apples. Each variety contributes to the flavor of the sauce.

Back to TopDelicious, healthy and oh-so-easy, especially if you have one of those Peel Away contraptions.

I always double or triple this recipe. I put the apples with some water in the micro, mash with a potato masher to make it chunky. Add brown sugar and lemon to taste.

Fabulous. I micro it with some water, then use a potato masher to make it chunky. I add brown sugar and lemon accordingly

I've been making this for a few years now. Easy to make, always a hit. You can skip the tablespoon of sugar :)

I made a few changes to this recipe as I didn't like the Fuji apples at the store, used Gala apples in place, also instead of sugar used splenda and added cinnamon. Turned out great, there is hardly anything left

Just returned from an orchard with my boys and wanted to make something fresh with our apples. This applesauce was perfect! So easy. I like the low sugar content and the chunky bits of fresh apple. I am going to try freezing some. We also made the apple pear crostata w/ five spice whipped cream. WOW!

This is the only applesauce recipe I make. I use whatever apple's we have on hand or when we have purchased to much. I freeze it in containers, so it's always on hand

i think this recipe was good for a lite snack when you don't want to be filled up. You should add some cinnamon to the apple sauce to give it a needed spice. It's good to be spread lightly on pancakes or toast, but it shouldn't be eaten plain.

I could not believe how easy it was to make this (and my family was so impressed that I made applesauce from scratch). I did not add any sugar as one of my dinner guests is diabetic, but found that the apples were sweet enough on their own anyway. I sprinkled a little cinnamon on top before serving - everyone liked it!

This was very simple and very good. I used a couple of pears instead of 2 apples, also added some cinnamen. It tasted better cold.

I've enhanced the flavors by eliminating water and sugar. Simply adding 1/2 tsp. salt contributes to a more complex sauce. It's wonderful in both savory and sweet recipes. Idyllic!
