Old-Fashioned Applesauce

Ingredients:
apples, raw, with skin
sugars, granulated
water, bottled, generic
lemon juice, raw

Directions:
Combine apples, sugar, and water in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat, 10 minutes.
Uncover and cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes or until apples are very tender.
Let cool.
If any liquid remains in pan, use a slotted spoon to transfer the apples to a food mill fitted with the coarse grating disk.
Puree the apples in the food mill.
Return puree to the saucepan.
Simmer a few more minutes, stirring, until applesauce is as thick as you like it.
Add lemon juice, if using, or more sugar, if needed.
If adding sugar, simmer applesauce 1 minute, stirring, to blend it in.
