Applesauce is very easy!. My mother and I make a bunch of it each year!. You just need to clean the apples, cut them up into pieces taking out the cores, and then cook the apples!. Once cooked, run them through a sieve to make it smooth!. All you need to do is pour it into plastic containers with a tight fitting lid, date the container, and place them in the freezer!. Hope this helps = )Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put it in a tupperware and freeze it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
