Simply Homemade Applesauce

Homemade Applesauce-Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It brings a smile to my face and I feel like a little kid again! I use to love my Grandma Emilo's Applesauce!

Yes, I live in the heart of many orchards.
Which I am very Happy About! For Applesauce
I use whatever Apples that are available. I know, I know
they say to use a certain kind, but me I like to go against the rules
and use many different kinds, I think it gives the Applesauce its own attitude
APPLESAUCE-
12 Apples( any kind you like!) peeled or not peeled up to you- Not peeling makes the sauce a have a nice little pink color to it! I peel mine though.
Then I Core and Chop them all up into pieces and throw into a giant pot and fill with about 1/2 inch water - 2 Tablespoons of Vanilla 1/2 teaspoon of salt! 2 Scoops of Date Sugar, Cinnamon to taste and about 1 Tablespoon of real or Sugar Substitute. I really love it with a Tablespoon of Maple Syrup but be creative use what you like. Then I just cover and bring to boil. Once boiling I turn it down and let it simmer stirring occasionally. Once the Apples are boiled all the way down ( They should be soft and airy ) I take off the heat and grab my immersion blender and blend until smooth. ( be careful it is hot!) Or you can put the liquid in a blender and blend until smooth but remember to blend hot liquids with  the lid  off or it will fly off through the air! Then the best part TASTE! Add more Cinnamon , a little lemon spritz, or honey until it tastes the way you like it! I like to let mine sit a bit then reheat and serve warm!
