Introduction

My mom's homemade recipe. I reduced the sugar from her recipe. I've also made it without the sugar and it was still good (great for replacing part of the oil in baked dishes).

Ingredients

4 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored, and quartered

1 c. water

1/4 c. light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

dash nutmeg

Directions

Add apples and water to a large saucepan or dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Apples should break down to applesauce consistency on their own (may have to adjust cooking time). Add sugar and spices, mixing well. Bring back to a boil for 5 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Makes approximately 8 servings, about 1/2 cup each.

Double/triple batches work well and can be stored in freezer for future use.
