With the generous help of one of my neighbors and new friends, Cindy, we made 50 pints of applesauce this week! It was definitely a two-person job. Whew! But it is so satisfying to have all those lovely jars (well, half of them--of course I gave some to Cindy) lined up in my food storage room and to know that the apples all came from my backyard!
First, slice and boil the apples
This is the lovely Kitchen-Aid attachment I borrowed from my mother-in-law. You put the soft apples at the top, and applesauce comes out one end and all the peels and seeds come out the other! Magic!!
Then you add sugar and cinnamon to the applesauce to make it taste even yummier!
After boiling the jars in a regular canner, this is what you get! Lovely, aren't they? I still have tons of leftover apples. I am planning to make apple crisp this weekend, and then maybe I'll try drying some apples in my oven.

That is fabulous! That kitchin aid attachment sounds like and amazing invention. I would love to have one of those when I make applesauce!
if you have any extra apples can i come grab some? i love them!
Send some my way too! Your apples are beautiful!
Other suggestions for your extra apples: apple butter (I made some in my crockpot) and canned apple pie filling (since you seem to be a pro canner now!)
Yum!

Those jars are beautiful. You need to bring some over to try here!
