Terrific, but so many variations!
I love to add frozen fruits (no sugar added) to my applesauce. For example, Two apples plus 10 frozen (thawed) cherries is delicious. I also add in a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and some honey.

I love to make this with granny Smith apples, and I add in about 2 tbsp Brown sugar and about 3/4 tap cinnamon. Especially Love to make it to go with pork chops. Love love LOVE!

Raw Applesauce
After purchasing my Vitamix 8 years ago, I have not bought store-bought applesauce. Why would I even think about buying it when I have this amazing machine to make it in. I would recommend it to anyone who has a Vitamix to make their own.

No need for agave!
This is so simple and easy. I omitted the agave and used only lemon and cinnamon. Can't get any better than this.

Just perfect!
Needed some applesauce for a muffin recipe and my Vitamix really came in handy.
Of course my Vitamix doesn't get much rest. I use it at least once a day.

Instant Applesauce
This applesauce is a winner if you use crisp apples, such as galas. I omitted the agave nectar. The apples were sweet enough. The texture was great unless you overmix it. This applesauce looks like the recipe my grandmother cooked on the stove.
