lbs apples (very ripe (any variety))

water

granulated sugar ((optional), or add to taste)

cinnamon ((optional), to serve)

Mash apples to desired consistency, using either a potato masher, an immersion blender or an electric hand mixer.

How to Make Applesauce:

Wash and sterilize 8 pint-sized jars and lids. Use a ladle and funnel to pour hot applesauce into sterilized jars. Wipe the jar rims clean with a paper towel.

Fill a large canning pot 1/3 full with water and bring to a boil. Place applesauce jars into the hot water, making sure they are covered by 1-2 inches water. Return to a boil and process 20 minutes.

Carefully remove from the water using a jar lifter and place them right side up until they reach room temperature and lid suctions in and seals. The lids should not pop when sealed correctly. If any jars do not form the seal, refrigerate and enjoy within 2 weeks.
