How to make homemade applesauce

As the autumnal equinox approaches, I always love to usher it in by making homemade applesauce.
A perfect mix - half a peck - Macintosh and Gala. There is no need for extra sugar. These apples are naturally as sweet and delightful as they can be!
Quarter the apples. Take out the seeds. Place in a soup pot with about 1 inch of water. Add just enough H2O so that they don’t burn to the bottom. (They’ll excrete a ton of water themselves, so don’t worry!)
Simmer - add a teaspoon or so of sea salt. This will sweeten the taste of the apples and draw out more water from the fruit.
After 30 minutes or so, the apples will just fall apart in the pot - easily broken up with a spoon or fork. They’re done!
Use your food mill to puree the apples. If you don’t have one - it’s worth the investment. Get one here. They’re great for potatoes and cream soups too.
Presto! A delicious Fall treat. So easy too, no?
