Sweetening Apple Sauce

Growing up, it was a fall ritual to make apple sauce using the apples from my Grandma's apple tree. I loved that apple sauce because the apples were very tart and that was how I liked my apple sauce. My mom liked to add lots of sugar to the apple sauce and my dad liked lots of cinnamon and lots of sugar. We were all at odds with each other because I would complain that everyone else "ruined" the apple sauce. So to make everyone happy, my mom and I (because I always helped) would either can or freeze the apple sauce unsweetened. That way we could all sweeten the apple sauce to our own liking. This is also a good tip if you use apple sauce in baked goods because those recipes often call for unsweetened apple sauce. Please check out this amazing crock pot apple sauce recipe on my good friends blog! Enjoy!!
