Here's my favorite apple sauce recipe. It's real easy too.
Rhubarb Apple Sauce
4-5 large sweet apples (I like golden delicious which are very sweet)
3 long, thick rhubarb stalks
1/2 pint strawberries
sweetner to taste (I use none)
water
-Peel and chop rhubarb.
-Core, peel and chop apple.
-Pick stems off strawberries.
-Dump it all in a pot and add a little water (1/4 cup?) to prevent burning
(once the apples start cooking they will release their own liquid so the water
is really needed because of the first minutes of cooking.)
-Cook, covered, on a medium flame until boiling then turn heat down and tilt
the cover a little to let steam escape.
-Stir occassionally.
-Simmer until most of the apples have disolved and the mix doesn't look too
watery - around half and hour. It's best to turn off the flame while the mix
is still a little watery since more water will evaporate while it is cooling
down.
I prefere the texture when some apple chunks are left in the sauce.
If you can't find rhubarb, try cranberries.
You can also use this as a "low sugar" jam.
