Applesauce can be used for so many recipes. Cinnamon and lemon juice blend together to make an outstanding side dish.

3 pounds Granny Smith apples, cored, pared, and chopped

1/2 cup water

2 cinnamon sticks (2 inches each)

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar

1. In a 4-quart saucepan combine all ingredients except sugar; bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples soften, about 10 minutes.

3. Stir in sugar and cook for about 5 minutes longer.

4. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks.

Makes 1 quart.

May be served warm or chilled.

Note:

Applesauce will be slightly chunky. For a smooth applesauce, puree mixture in work bowl of food processor or blender container.
