Ingredients

one batch

From the garden

  • 9 lb apples, washed · a mix of sweet and tart varieties makes the best sauce

From the pantry

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (optional) · only if the apples are very tart; taste first
  • 2 tbsp bottled lemon juice (optional) · brightens flavor and holds the color; applesauce is naturally acidic enough to can without it
