Miss B.J.'s Homemade Chunky Applesauce

The girls have a new Science teacher at school this year, Miss B. J. She sent home this recipe for applesauce and the girls and I had a great time making it the other night.

2 Granny Smith apples

2 Red Delicious apples

2 Golden Delicious apples

2 Gala apples

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water

(I added about 1/4 cup brown sugar)

Directions: Wash the apples (child)

Peel, core and slice all apples (adult) I found this neat apple slicer at Target for $1.00.

Place apples in a pot, gently stir in cinnamon and pour water over all.

Cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes; turn to low and cook until barely tender. At this point I wish that I could smell - I'm sure that the house smelled wonderful.

After cooking let cool and let you little one mash the apples with a "wavy" potato masher.

This should serve eight little ones! Yummy!
