Apple Sauce For Making Apple Butter

1. 1

   Wash the apples, core and slice them with the peel on. Place the slices in a large metal pan with about a cup of water. Heat on medium-high, stirring often so the apples don't stick. Cook the apples until completely soft, time depends on quantity.

2. 2

   To make the applesauce, use a China cap and wooden pestle (a food mill or potato ricer may work too). The goal is to push the apples through the small holes of the strainer into a large bowl, and discard the peel. This step is the most time consuming part of the whole process.
