Applesauce From Cooking Live

3 lb mixed apples, i.e.

: Cortland; : McIntosh; Golden Delicious; : Gala; : etc , cored and quartered 1/2 c water

3/4 c to 1 cup sugar -- to taste

: Juice of half a lemon 2 ts cinnamon -- optional

In a large saucepan combine the apples, 1/2 cup water and sugar, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally and breaking up the apples, for 20 minutes. When the apples are tender and the mixture is the consistency of a chunky puree pass the apples through a food mill and return to the saucepan. Simmer the applesauce, gently, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Serve the applesauce warm or chilled.
