Fresh Applesauce

Wash apples well. For a nice light pink coor for your applesauce be sure to have some red apples

Cut apples in quarters, add to large stockpot with apple cider, salt and butter

Cover pot and simmer, stirring occasionally to be sure to prevent sticking and to rotate softer apples to the top. This can take up to 2 hours depending on your apples crispness

Cook until apples are very soft

Press apples through a food mill discarding all peels and seeds

Then add applesauce to a blender and blend until smooth

Refrigerate or freeze. This applesauce freezes great
