Homemade Applesauce

Ingredients:
2 cups sliced apples
1/3 cup apple juice or apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Unrefined cane sugar or brown sugar

Put apples, juice, cinnamon, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until fruit is tender and the liquid has cooked off (about 15 minutes).

Taste the sauce. If you feel it needs to be sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of unrefined can sugar and reheat, stirring constantly, until it dissolves.

Remove cinnamon stick. Puree the applesauce in a blender, or mash with a potato masher, depending on whether you want a smooth or chunky consistency.
