Apple Sauce Home Made

• 16 apples use sweet apples rather than granny smith
• 1/2 cup orange juice fresh squeezed
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• brown sugar as needed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
• 1 pinch nutmeg optional

1. In a saucepan, combine apples, juice and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft. (15-30 minutes depending on how many apples and how small you chopped the apples)
2. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Using a potato masher, or a food mill, mash the apples until desired consistency. We like If you like a chunky apple sauce the potato masher works fine. If you like a smother applesauce then the food mill will be the tool to use.
4. Taste the apple sauce and add any sugar and spices as desired.
5. Once you make your own applesauce you will never go back to buying apple sauce off the supermarket shelf.
