Homemade Apple Sauce is so much better than out of a jar. Traditionally eaten with meat, pancakes, ice cream, french fries and a host of other dishes, depending on the country you happen to be in!
Peel, core and slice the apples into wedges about 1 cm (half an inch) thick.
Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook away for about 15 minutes, uncovered, until the apples are soft and broken down into pulp.Add a splash of water if it's getting too dry.
Stir to break up any chunks but I like the odd chunk in mine.
Store in a clean container/jar in the fridge and it will last for 3-4 days. You can also store the apple sauce in sterilized jars for longer - a couple of months without a hot water bath and a couple of years, with, if it lasts that long!
