Too much sugar. Substitute 4-5 tbsp of lemon juice and a couple of tsp of stevia instead. Submitted by:

I took a tip from the other fellow Sparkers and left out the brown sugar until I tasted how sweet the sauce turned out. My first batch - zero sugar. My 2nd batch - 1 tablespoon. Good! Submitted by:

I've made apple sauce for years and have never added any sugar as the apples are usually sweet enough, and as for cinnamon - no i've never added this either. Submitted by:

It's a very simple recipe. I use cinnamon and a few stevia drops after it cools (instead of brown sugar) if the apples aren't sweet enough. Submitted by:

Great easy recipe, especially for near end of season apples. However, I used sugar substitute instead of brown sugar or skip the sugar entirely. Submitted by:

If you have good apples there is no need to add sugar. We have 3 apple trees and we also harvest other peoples apples for them. I can about 40 pints of applesauce per year, all with no sugar. Submitted by:

Like many others, I make my own applesauce all the time. If both sweet and tart apples are mixed, I find I don't need to add sugar. We individually add cinnamon. To change it up, sometimes I add a little vanilla. Submitted by:

I love homemade applesauce I like the cinnamon and brown sugar, I also like to add some vanilla to it when I take it of the heat. Makes it taste like I've added vanilla ice cream to it, as much as you'd like I add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to this depends on how big the apples are.

I MAKE BATCHES OF THIS IN THE FALL AND FREEZE IT IN 1/2 CUP OR 1 CUP SERVINGS TO USE IT IN MY RECIPES INSTEAD OF OIL . I ALSO LIKE A FEW SPOONFULS OF THIS WITH A BIT OF COTTAGE CHESSE FOR A SNACK. I DON'T ADD SUGAR OR CINNAMON BEFORE I FREEZE IT. SOMETIMES I EAT 1/2 CUP FOR DESSERT. Submitted by:

No need for sugar! We use Granny Smith and Gala with a couple Red and Golden Delicious for a hint of sweet. We use water when cooked on the stove and simmer until the water is gone -- keeps the apples from scorching. We make this at Thanksgiving and Christmas and add just a touch of nutmeg. Submitted by:

My elderly father got diabetes so he created this version of applesauce so he could have a treat: all it is is apples, lots of cinnamon and a good splash of vanilla extract. Surprisingly tasty. Submitted by:

Why the sugar? You can use a variety of apples sweet enough not to require any sugar. I make applesauce with just apples and water in a crockpot and it is delicious. Submitted by:

I have been making my own applesauce for years. I like to add the cinnamon because it is so good for you. I do use splenda brown sugar and it comes out wonderful. Before I mash the apples, I add chopped walnuts and use it over pancakes and over a spice cake. Then mash the rest. Submitted by:

If you use apples that are ripe, you don't need to add any sugar at all. Cortland apples are great, and leaving the skins on while cooking gives the sauce a lovely pink color. Submitted by:

I have made apple sauce for decades, last fall I made 6 batches of 4 gallons each, and not one needed any sugar. I like the taste of the apples not the sweet and other spices when I eat applesauce alone. The sugar in this recipe makes a serving very small, 1/4 cup, without sugar 1 cup is 110 c. Submitted by:

I just core apples and simmer them, stirring occasionally until sauce - no sugar at all, nor cinnamon - then put in jars and boil until sealed, if I'm doing a bushel. The right kind of apples don't need sugar - diabetic, and the carb count of the apples is more than sufficient reason to omit sugar. Submitted by:

This has been a staple for me since I started an internship in Early Childhood Education...little ones love to help mash and stir. For the holidays, I add Cinnamon Red Hots, since it's about the only time I can find them. Really kicks it up a notch. And, it adds color. Splenda brown sugar's good Submitted by:

Very nice. I had 10 apples from 2 weeks worth of CSA boxes and used both kinds. One liquified and the other remained a bit chunky. Added some fresh grated nutmeg along with the cinnamon and only used 1 T. Brown Sugar. Tasty. Submitted by:

60 plus years of home made applesauce. We never used brown sugar, some times cinnamon, and some times not. We had our own orchard of apples, starting with Summer Transparent in July and ending with Winesap in October. Plus canned and frozen for winter. Used in place of jams or jellies, on pancakes.

I'm making this right now and I added all the ingredients with about 1 tsp of Vanilla extract, yummy. I didn't add the brown sugar as I don't think I'm going to need it. I only used 3 apples, I used about 21/2 apples and cooked them, will add the rest of the small chunck for yogurts. Submitted by:
