Hi, I make applesauce all fall and winter long. I take a heavy-bottomed dutch oven -- I think mine is 5-quart. I fill it with apples, washed and quartered. I add the juice of a lemon, a cinnamon stick, and a cup of water -- or apple cider if I have that. I bring it to a boil, then turn it down to where there's a bubble every few minutes -- just barely simmering, and cook until the apples are soft. I stir it once in a while. Your house will smell wonderful while the apples are cooking.
When the apples are soft, I run everything through a food mill, which removes the skins and cores and the cinnamon stick and any lemon seeds that made their way into the pot. I add a third of a cup or more of sugar or agave, then store in the fridge. It's not a precise recipe, but it makes delicious applesauce! Oh, and I use whatever apples I have on hand -- often, there are several varieties. And, if I have a couple of pears, I throw them into the pot, as well -- they sweeten the applesauce so well, you can add even less sugar! Happy cooking.
