Using whole,organic apples that have been washed, quarter the apples and put in saucepan with a little water to prevent burning. When I say 'whole' apples, I mean everything - skins, pits and cores. Leave nothing out. Then bring apples and water to a boil, and simmer till apples are soft.
When apples are nice and soft, take them out with a slotted spoon so water drains, and put them in a wonderful old-fashioned food mill. Stir, stir, stir. All that wonderful fruit from the apples is pushed through to make fabulous, natural applesauce.
And look what's left behind??? Nothing but the skin scraps, pits and cores. Everything gets used. No waste. (When I make an apple pie, I save all the peelings, pits and cores to make the sauce. Sometimes I throw in a whole apple or two if I need a big batch of applesauce.)
Here it is......wholesome, natural, sugar-free applesauce. Sprinkle some cinnamon in the sauce and you're in for a treat. Mix with your oatmeal in the morning or just enjoy after dinner or anytime!
