Recipe- Home Made Applesauce

Applesauce is the perfect substitute for egg to be used while baking.

Ingredients

4 pounds apples, such as McIntosh, Gala, and Braeburn
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar (optional)

Method

* Peel, core, and slice apples.

* In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.

* Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)

* Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.
