This assumes you have nothing other than a pot, a $2 vegetable peeler and a knife.! And if you want to can larger quantities of applesauce for later, instead. If you want The applesauce will taste MUCH better than anything you've ever had from a store, and by selecting the right apples, it will be so naturally-sweet that you won't need to add any sugar at all. You don't need a fancy (and expensive food mill and sieve). Here's how to do it without, complete instructions in easy steps and completely illustrated.

I will forewarn you that it takes much more time to make it without a food mill, BUT it certainly can be done, and it certainly works for small batches! If you decide to can the applesauce, the jars have a shelf life of 18 months to 2 years, and require no special attention. And of course, you can freeze the applesauce instead (it keeps indefinitely in a good freezer).

Directions for Making Applesauce, Without a Food Mill or Food Processor Ingredients • Apples (see step 1) • Cinnamon Equipment • Very large pot or 1 Water Bath Canner (a huge pot with a lifting rack to sanitize the jars of applesauce after filling (about $20 to $35 at mall kitchen stores and local 'big box' stores, but it's usually cheaper online from our affiliates) You CAN use a large pot instead, but the canners are deeper, and have a rack top make lifting the jars out easier. If you plan on canning every year, they're worth the investment.

• Vegetable / fruit peeler ($1.99 at the grocery store) • Knife • Large spoon Recipe and Directions Step 1 - Selecting the apples The most important step! You need apples that are sweet - NOT something like Granny Smith's. Yeah, I know you like them (why do sweet women like sour apples???) and even if I did, they still wouldn't make good applesauce - you'd have to add a lot of sugar.

Instead, choose apples that are naturally sweet and flavorful, like Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Winesap, and always use a mixture - never just one type. Here's my preference: • 25% Fuji, • 25% Honeycrisp, Ambrosia or Winesap. • 25% Delicious (I'll give Yellow Delicious the edge over red here), • 25% Gala and This meant it was so sweet I did not need to add any sugar at all. And the flavor is great! The Fuji's, Honeycrisp's and Gala's give it an aromatic flavor!

Step 2 - How many apples and where to get them You can pick your own, or buy them at the grocery store. Grocery store prices for apples typically range from $1 to $2 per lb. Of course, in larger quantities, they can be had for much less. They were available from late September at $12 to $24 per bushel (which is 42 pounds, so even at $24 per bushel, that's only 57 cents per pound).

If you're only making a small amount, figure about 3 to 4 pounds of apples per quart of applesauce you want to make. Buying in bulk, you'll get about 12 to 14 quarts of applesauce per bushel of apples. Step 3 - Wash the apples I'm sure you can figure out how to wash the apples in plain cold water. Step 4 - Peel the apples! I love the peeler shown at right.
