Pink Applesauce

Directions

1. 1
   Wash apples thoroughly.
2. 2
   Prepare a large bowl filled with cold water.
3. 3
   Cut apples into cubes (keeping the skin but removing cores).
4. 4
   As you cut the apples, throw them in cold water so they don't brown too much.
5. 5
   When you've finished cutting, remove from water and place apples in a heavy-bottomed pot, add a tiny bit of water so that there is about 1cm covering the bottom.
6. 6
   Cover and cook on LOW heat until apples are completely cooked.
7. 7
   Stir once in a while.
8. 8
   Working by the spoonful, press apples through a potato ricer or a strainer; discard skins between batches.
9. 9
   If desired (this shouldn't be necessary), cream sauce in blender or food processor.
10. 10
    Cool before refrigerating.

    ***This gives a very thick applesauce, to thin out, add more water during cooking.
