Reduce the heat to medium, & stir occasionally while the sauce simmers – for about 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Your house will smell delicious.
Using a whisk, give that sauce a good beating to break up any clumps of fruit.
Ladle the applesauce into jars & wipe the rims clean. You can process in a water bath if you prefer, or you can use this little trick. As the sauce is cooking, boil your lids in a pot of water. As soon as you ladle the sauce into the jars, screw the lid on using a pot holder & immediately turn upside down. Let it sit upside down for about 15 minutes, then turn right side up. Let it sit for another 15 minutes & you jars should be sealed – OR – process in a water bath for about 15 minutes.

Would it be okay to process these in a water bath? I just am leary about not processing the jars. If so, how long for pint jars? Thanks! Can’t wait to try this!
Of course you can! 🙂
It’s actually unsafe to not process! It’s 15 minutes in a water bath
Curious as to the type of apples you used? Looks like maybe Granny Smith? I would think tart & sweet combo would be good and not a lot of water in them.
