Serves 8 to 10
Ingredients
5 pounds cooking apples, mixed or the same; peeled, cored, and sliced into eighths.
1-1½ cups apple juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
8-10 tablespoons honey
Directions
Place sliced apples, apple juice, and lemon juice in large saucepan. Simmer covered for about 25 minutes or until most of the juices have evaporated and apples are soft and easily broken apart. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples and add honey. Remove from heat and break up apples using a wire whisk, adding hot water as necessary to achieve desired consistency. Applesauce can be chunky or smooth depending on preference. Serve warm or let stand until cool then refrigerate 45 minutes to serve cold.
