Fresh Applesauce

This applesauce is the applesauce I grew up on. Every fall our family would go apple picking. We came home with tons of apples and this applesauce was a favorite . It's ultra smooth and silky, sweet and tart as no sugar or sweetner is added. Of course you can add sweetner if you like. A blend of tart and sweet apples works best and having some red apples gives a beautiful pimk color to the applesauce.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
