Instructions
Wash apples. Remove any blemishes and core apples. Peeling is optional.
Cut apples into even sized chunks (halved or quartered).
Pour 1 cup (250 ml) water into large stock pot and add apples. The apples will release their own liquid very quickly.
Cover and bring to boil. Then turn heat to low, partially cover with lid. Cook and stir often. Add more water if mixture is too thick or dry.
Simmer 20 to 30 minutes until apples are soft and to your desired consistency. The longer you cook them the softer they'll be.
Leave as is, use a potato masher to mash apples or puree smooth in a food processor.
Add spices or sweeteners before using or serving apple sauce.
