Homemade Apple Sauce

When you make as many pork chops as I do, you may as well learn how to make homemade apple sauce.  After doing some research, I couldn't believe how easy it was!  I have experimented with different recipes, and I think it’s best to keep it simple.  I found some apples from the farmer’s market that looked good, so I thought I would make a batch.  I forgot one ingredient that I have used in the past (apple juice), but I don’t think the apple sauce really needs it.  All I did was peel 4 out of the 6 apples (I mixture of different colors and types of apple is best).  I used my apple corer and then cut each piece into thirds, checking for any leftover bits of core.  I added a little bit of water, honey, and cinnamon.  I brought the apples to a boil and then let them simmer for 10 minutes.  As I stirred the apples, they pretty much fell apart.  My husband likes chunky apple sauce, so I just left it.  If you like smoother sauce, I would food process or use an immersion blender.  Most people don’t like the peel, so you could always peel all of the apples.  This is so simple, I won’t buy apple sauce from the store ever again.
