Recipe #13: Applesauce

There is nothing so wonderful as eating a warm bowl of homemade applesauce-- Especially in the fall! I think it epitomizes the crisp fall air and the feeling you get when you get to pull out your warm sweater for the first time. BUT, currently it feels nothing like that! Bummer, I love fall.
I had a couple of left over apples though so I decided to use them to make some apple sauce/puree for Alex. So it technically is being used as a baby food, but I am going to go ahead and write the recipe anyways, because I did enjoy several delicious bites!

You need:
12 apples, cored and sliced into thin pieces. I use Fuji because they are so sweet and they are the best. I think we will be eating fuji apples in heaven! :)
1/4 cup water, and more to add as you cook.

(For Baby Food: I used probably 5 apples and ended up adding quite a bit of water, I would say maybe like 2 and 1/2 cups to keep it from burning in the pot.)

Add the apples and water to the pot. (I used a medium sized sauce pan because I was not doing as much.)
Boil the apples until done. It will take probably at least an hour. Stir occasionally. Add water as needed to make sure it doesn't stick to the sides or burn. You can decide how chunky or smooth you want your apple sauce to be!
(For Baby Food you can also go a step further and puree the apple sauce to make sure no big chunks are left)

The end result: wonderful, warm, sweet apple sauce (no sugar is needed)! Can you see the steam rising from this deliciousness?
