Ingredients
- about 4 pounds of apples (8-12 apples)
- 1/2 cup liquid of choice
- sugar, honey, or favorite sweetener, 1/4 cup to every 4 medium apples. (Leave sweetener out if you prefer an unsweetened sauce. Really sweet apples don’t require any additional sweetener.)

Directions
- Wash, core and slice apples. Peel if desired. Place apples in a saucepan with water, cover and simmer until tender.
- Apples can be put through a blender or mashed with a potato masher.
- Add sweetener and spices to taste.
- This sauce can be canned by following current canning recommendations for applesauce.
