Classic Applesauce

Making a simple, chunky applesauce, this recipe comes from the 2005 cookbook, get saucy. I prefer using either mcintosh or pippin apples for this sauce, & making a double batch allows for freezing some for later! [note: in oct 2009 i did try this using fuji apples & it turned out very well, & i've now changed to using the apple cider!]

Cover & simmer over medium-low heat until the apples are tender & broken down , about 15 minutes , stirring once or twice.
