My mother-in-law taught me how to make this chunky and sweet applesauce. We love it! In the fall I make large batches of it and process for later, along with the straight apple (no sugar added) version I learned to make at home. This is a small-batch version for my college kid. The picture is actually a batch of about 8-9 smaller apples that had fallen from our tree, but you can see what it looks like about half way through the cooking.
4 apples, peeled, cored, cut in quarters
1/4 cup sugar
pinch cinnamon or nutmeg
Cook in a small pan, over medium heat, with 1/2 cup water, until the apples are soft. (Takes about 30 minutes.) Add water as necessary to maintain a saucy consistency. If you don't add water, it may end up thick, like apple butter, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Store in a mason jar in the refrigerator.
