<BR>(Carla Schneider)

<H4>Ingredients</H4>
<UL>
<LI>5 organic apples (see Notes)</LI>
<LI>1 cup water</LI>
<LI>1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)</LI>

</UL>

<H4>Instructions</H4>
<OL>
<LI>Quarter and core the apples.  Do not peel if you are using organic apples.  Cut each quarter into 3 or 4 pieces.</LI>
<LI>Put apple pieces in a food processor and process until the apples are a chunky sludge (~ 10 seconds).</LI>
<LI>Add water a little at a time, processing between additions until the desired consistency is reached.</LI>
<LI>Add optional lemon juice and process a little more to mix.</LI>

</OL>

<H4>Notes</H4>
<UL>
<LI>I like to use Galas, Spartans, and Red Delicious apples with a Granny Smith or 2 thrown in.</LI>
<LI>The lemon juice is to help the applesauce retain its color.  It is not necessary.</LI>
<LI>The top layer of sauce will darken a little after some time in the refrigerator; this is OK.</LI>
<LI>You will never buy applesauce from the store again after you try this.  It has a unique taste to it that you can't get from jarred applesauce.  Reminds me of Cherry 7-Up.</LI>
