"Try using a variety of apples for a wonderful cider blend. We've used Gala, Jonagold, Fuji, and Granny Smiths at different times and they all cook up beautifully! This applesauce truly is wonderful ..." See morewithout adding any sugar! The spices and flavors from the apples themselves give it a rich, sweet blend."
