  • 1/4 cup water 6 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice Pinch of coarse salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 3 pounds small assorted apples, such as Gala, McIntosh, or Fuji (about 10) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of ground cloves

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/15/2013   Great recipe! Roasting the apples really brings out their natural sweetness and having a food mill makes easy work--no peeling, coring, or chopping required. I modified this recipe by leaving out the sugar and butter, and it was still delicious, with flavors reminiscent of apple pie filling.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       11/27/2011   Scrumptious and dessert-worthy. No peeling or cutting - just throw whole rinsed apples into the pan and roast. Major flavor for so little effort!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/17/2010   This has to be both the easiest and tastiest applesauce recipe ever! My kids love it and my husband says that it tastes like grandma's!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/15/2010   This quickly became a family favorite. It is easy to make and absolutely delicious. It goes great with a little vanilla ice cream if you want to serve it as a dessert to guest or just a fun family treat!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/06/2010   My family went apple picking yesterday and I used 10 assorted apples (I'm not even sure what types of apples I used) and it came out fabulously. I packed it in little lock and lock containers so I can throw them into lunchboxes this week.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2010   Applesauce cans very well. Process in a waterbath 15 mins for pint jars and 20 for quarts. As long as the lids seal (aka no flex to the lid), they are shelf stable for a couple of years.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/03/2009   This is such a great recipe but I would like to know if anyone has tried canning it so it can be stored on the self. I would like to make a large batch and keep it on hand for the holidays. Would a waterbath work here. I am new to canning but have done some jams and fruits.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/27/2009   The taste of this applesauce is brilliant. The first time I made this I did not own a food mill (which I have since purchased- a very worthwhile investment as gadgets go) and used the food processer/strain method. While the flavor was there, the consistancy was baby-food like and not terribly appealing. Simple mashing or the food mill are definitely the way to go. Just beautiful.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/04/2009   Wow! I used 10 assorted apples that were languishing in my fridge (honeycrisp, macs, granny smith, empire...) and reduced the sugar to 4 T. (loose, not packed) and butter to 1.5 T. and still got a very rich flavor. Also, since I don't have a food mill, I just peeled and quartered the apples before cooking, then just mashed them in the baking pan with a potato masher when they were done for a more rustic sauce. Perfect! This is a serious winner--I doubt I'll ever make applesauce any other way!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2008   This is both easy and delicious. The technique makes a small amount of butter taste like a lot. I've given is applesauce as gifts and always get requests for the recipe.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/13/2007   This is wonderful, especially warmed. I served it to guests at a simple luncheon and they raved. My spouse, who can be hard to please, also loves it. I use Gala apples.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/02/2007   Delicious! Have made this now for the second time and love it. I used Gala apples the first time, and Jonagold the second time. I love the earthiness of the roasted apples along with the sweetness of the brown sugar caramel. Great with some Greek yogurt as a snack. Yum!
