Have a bunch of apples that are going soft...we can't keep up and I hate to see them go to waste! I think there is another person on here looking for good apple recipes, too! Thanks in advance!

Do you like apple sauce?

I think I got a few recipes but not sure what you like. I've got a recipes site but not sure can post it here. I don't want to get banned for doing wrong.

Lots of people post links! And I LOVE applesauce! I have made my own, but I feel like it's missing something, so a recipe would be great. Also, I have heard you can freeze it...anyone else hear that???

**Sorry for two posts in a row...it's been over 2 years and I still don't know how to quote multiple people in the same post!

Thanks so much, slyfoxy! I have an apple pie cake recipe that I want to share that I just came across (forgot I had it!), but it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Definitely! I just follow those basic instructions, and add sugar and/or spices to taste.

One of my fave & easy things to do with apples or any other fruit in that condition is to make an easy jelly or sauce in the crockpot. I just bought a ton of markdown pears today that were in a bad way. I just core them, cut out the bad pieces & then toss them in the crockpot on low (cover on). I don't even take the skin off if unless it's on a bad spot. Occassionally, I stir or maybe mash a little. Once it gets down to a supermushy or liquidy state, I take the cover of the crock off & let it cook down. Once done, I just fill mason jars. You could make applesauce this way too, just dicing up for chunky or toss into the blender if you want it thinner.

And you can add whatever you want to it - sugar, spices, etc. I leave the sugar out of ours since we are sugar free here & I think it tastes just fine. I also like it being plain so I can use it in cooking - I often use fruit sauces as the liquid when making cakes, pancakes, muffins.
