Not Your Momma's Applesauce | Small Batch Canning Recipe
Applesauce is so easy and quick. You can have this delicious sauce ready to eat in less than an hour. Even if you’re not a home canner, this is great to make using fall’s bounty.
8 lbs. apples (I use a variety for flavor and texture)
1 c. water
1 vanilla bean
1/2 c. brown sugar (optional)
1/2 c. boiled cider (optional)
Cinnamon to taste (optional)
Peel, core and chop apples. Add water and vanilla bean, simmer covered until desired texture, approximately 20-30 minutes. Add brown sugar and boiled cider. Water bath or steam can in pints for 15 minutes following all safe canning guidelines and canner instructions.
Adjust for altitude as follows (from “The Amish Canning Cookbook):
1 – 1,000 ft. 15 minutes
1,001 – 3,000 20 minutes
3,001 – 6,000 25 minutes

Just canned 9 pints of this applesauce. Thank you for sharing your recipe. It’s delicious. Used your boiled cider recipe. Tomorrow is your apple slices in cinnamon vanilla syrup. Apples for the winter in my pantry.
You remind me of my fiance because you tell me essential instructions and details in between also making casual conversation which challenges me to pay absolute attention or else I’m missing something. My fiancè likes to tell a long work story and throw plans and dates and times in there which ill forget
I noticed you didn’t use lemon juice. Is it optional?
Do you do canning apple pie filling ?
