This is so good! I've been making this for years! It's a very basic recipe, and I'm sure I'm not the only one to make applesauce this way. We love it! (Lately, I've been using less cinnamon in my recipe, I've cut back to 1/4 tsp, it's even delicious without it too!)

    We like ours a little on the chunky side, so I mash a bit with the potato masher. Enjoy!!!
