This is amazing & after peeling the apples, which is a little tedious, it is amazingly easy. Wow. I did not bother mashing bc it really did not need to be. The apples turned into mash by themselves and the little chunks that were left gave it a nice texture. So good! Everyone who tried it was amazed at the flavor!
Cinnamon-Maple Applesauce
Use any apple variety or a combination of them. We enjoyed a mixture of Granny Smith for tartness and Rome for sweetness. Serve with roast pork or chicken, or atop French toast or waffles.
