Perfect, Easy Applesauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 empire apples (medium to large)
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons artificial sweetener, such as splenda

Preparation

Use sectioned apple slicer to easily core and slice your apples (or do it by hand).
Place apples, water and cinnamon sticks in a large, heavy pot.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
Remove cinnamon sticks and process in batches in the Foley Mill (check out ebay or Ace Hardware for Mills). Stir in remaining ingredients.
Serve warm topped with butter! Or eat cold from the refrigerator! Or warm topped with cinnamon sugar pie crust pieces! Or freeze for later use! So much better than jarred sauce!
