I always make apple sauce with the skins. That is where all the nutrition is. The pink hue is no big deal. I use an immersion blender and I personally like my applesauce a little chunky. It tastes more homemade in my opinion.
I’m glad you found what works for you! I think that’s the goal of cooking. But my whole family (there are 7 of us) did not like the apple sauce with the skins. So I found another way that they do love! Thanks for the comment and sharing how you can!
I use a Johnny Apple peeler and my husband uses a paring knife. All what you prefer. Then I put them in a large pot with 1/2 (or less) cup of water on a simmer mat with the smallest gas burner on low. The first hour I stir them every 20 minute. Once they start to soften and make their own juice I stir less often. This not a constant attention project. We are probably still peeling apples for more applesauce or to go in the dehydrator. When the apples are nice and mushy I use a masher that round with holes in it and mash them up. Add a big pinch of salt, 4 T. of bottled lemon juice and sugar to taste. From there they go immediately to the water bath canner for 20 minutes in boiling water. Always delicious. And only the peeling is time consuming. And I think the apple peeler is a life saver. My husband says "it's a toy".
I’ve never heard of the Johnny apple peeler, I need to look that up! And I do about 12 lbs at time too. My largest pot won’t fit more than that. And I agree with you that the peeler is not a toy but a necessity 😂. Thank you for sharing your process! As someone who is newer to canning, I love learning how everyone does it.
Easiest way to make applesauce w/no sugar & a little water is in a pressure cooker, apple peeler corer and a hand blender! The best applesauce and easiest way ever!!
I use a tool that cuts the unpeeled fruit into segments and cores the apple in one push. Then I put all of the apple pieces including the core into a large pot with a pint of water and cook them until very soft then run all of the mixture through a Victorio tomato and food strainer. The strainer squeezes the pulp through a screen and separates the applesauce and expels the seeds and peels to a separate container for disposal. Works great and fast. The machine has different screens for other fruits and veggies and to also make juices.
A delicious apple sauce goes perfectly with pancakes or with potato pancakes, it's so delicious. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching all the way from Germany!

This is a very informative well done video! Thank you so much! Good job!
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.
I have always canned my apples in slices. My kids grew up on chunky applesauce. And if you need it smooth just blend it as you need it.
What a great idea. I think a chunkier sauce would be pretty simple with a peeler slicer corer.
Great job!
Thanks!

I forgot to say we do 12 lbs. At a time.

@@thehocketthome I do 12#'s at a time also. My water bath canner holds 7 pints and that is about what 12#'s makes.
Try Canning Crispier Apples by Whippoorwill Holler video from 4 years ago. Very nice method and the end product is awesome.
I’ll have to check this out. Thanks for sharing that and commenting.

I have yet to try pressure canning but definitely getting an apple peeler corer slicer.
