How to Make Awesome Chunky Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and slice 4 pounds of Gala apples into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. Place the apples and 1/2 cup of water in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add 1/4 cup Splenda (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until completely dissolved and the applesauce has reached your desired consistency. (Stirring less will result in a chunkier applesauce.)
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
