Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

step 2

Wash, peel, core the Apples (14 1/2 cups). Cut apples into 1-inch chunks.

step 3

Cut the Unsalted Butter (3 Tbsp) into 1/4-inch chunks.

step 4

Place the apples in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the Brown Sugar (1/3 cup) and chunks of butter evenly over top.

step 5

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the apples are very tender.

step 6

Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork. Taste the apples. If the applesauce is too tart, add more brown sugar little by little until the flavors are balanced

step 7

Sprinkle some Ground Cinnamon (to taste), and enjoy! The applesauce can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
