You can make this applesauce with light or dark brown sugar. And a mixture of apple varieties to add flavor. The applesauce is super easy to fix, and you can choose to keep it a bit chunky or cook it longer and mash for a smoother mixture. Applesauce not only makes a delicious dessert, but the applesauce can also be used as an ingredient in many recipes. Try replacing one-third or one-half of the fat in quick bread or muffins with applesauce. You probably won't notice the difference. Serve applesauce warm, cold, or room temperature with a dollop of frozen, thawed whipped topping or freshly whipped cream. It makes a delicious everyday dessert. If you have the freezer space and a surplus of apples, double the recipe and freeze it. (there are freezing instructions below the recipe. ).
