How to Make Red Hot Applesauce

1. Peel, core, and chop 4 large apples (about 2 pounds).
2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
3. Add 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
6. For a smoother applesauce, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the applesauce to a regular blender and puree until smooth. (Be cautious when blending hot liquids!)
7. Serve warm over your favorite breakfast treat or enjoy it on its own!
