We have an apple orchard I go to called Deals over here in Iowa. When I make my applesauce I do add sugar and cinnamon only because it was the 1st time I'd ever made it. I like mine chunky so I can use it in apple crisps too. Sometimes I'll throw a jar into a cake recipe and I feel chunky gives you more choices to use it in recipes other than just eating it.
I did find out one thing when canning applesauce, don't use a pressure canner but use the open water bath...............ask me how I know...:-(

I'm waiting for the # 14 Mystery Train to arrive, then I'm off to the grocery store and hope to make apple sauce this afternoon.

Don't know if there is a rule on which kind of canner to use but when I tried using my pressure canner, I had one heck of a mess. Maybe I didn't leave enough room at the top but decided after the 1st time to go back to using the open water bath. No mess, no fuss.
As to the price Deal's apples are going for this year, have no clue as I'm still wading thru all the applesauce I made 2 years ago. Trying to down size my pantry before doing any more. My mother used to live with me so there was 2 of us eating it but for the past 2 years its only been me and I can only eat so much. Been making a lot of apple crisp though.
