Interestingly, I think of my apple sauce as being no doubt tasty but rather simple and common. But who am I to argue when I am told it is extraordinary? After all these years, I have struggled with why, but have finally come up with the only possible answer ~ my&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u2665<\/span> and intention while making it. Yes, of course I try to find the best local ingredients, but I think it must be the added ingredients that make it stand above the rest.<br \/>\n<b>There are two other secrets as well.<\/b><\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>I only use apples but not common baking apples. I also make sure there are at least five different varieties in my sauce, such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, Baldwin, Empire, Golden Delicious, Gala, Jonagold to name a few. Sure, you can use the standards like McIntosh or Cortland, but make sure you include some other varieties. This makes the flavor more complex and delicious.<\/li>\n<li>I use apple cider instead of water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1452\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?resize=584%2C522\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?w=816 816w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?resize=300%2C268 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?resize=335%2C300 335w\" alt=\"peeling apples\" width=\"570\" height=\"510\" data-attachment-id=\"1452\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/2013\/11\/12\/my-secret-apple-sauce-recipe\/peeling-apples\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?fit=816%2C730\" data-orig-size=\"816,730\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot S110&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1382834708&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"peeling apples\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?fit=300%2C268\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/peeling-apples.jpg?fit=584%2C522\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Debbie\u2019s Naked Apple Sauce<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A variety of local apples<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redjacketorchards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Jacket Apple Cider<\/a>&nbsp;(if you cannot find it, ask your local grocer to stock it or use another local apple cider)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Peel, core, and slice apples. Make sure there is a nice mixture of sweet and tart apples. Add apples to a large sauce pan. When the sauce pan is full of sliced apples, fill the sauce pan with about 1 \u00bd inches of apple cider. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the apples are soft and mushy (yes, mushy is a technical term). Then remove from stove and use a potato masher to well \u2013 mash the apples. You can use a food mill but I like chunky apple sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there you have it \u2013 now you can make you very own Naked Apple Sauce, no sugar, no spices \u2013 just <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u2665<\/span>.
