"This is very tasty applesauce! I agree with the other posts about cutting back on the sugar. As it does depend on the apples your using. I would suggest that when you add the sugar, start with 1/4 c.,..." See more add a little bit more sugar as you go along, tasting with each addition of more sugar.
