Applesauce with my Kitchenaid Fruit Strainer in about an Hour

I love my new fruit and veg strainer for my Kitchenaid mixer because it means I don't have to peel and core the apples when I make applesauce! You will need both the Food Grinder and the Fruit and Veg Strainer. Some stores sell them as a combo pack. I'm looking forward to using this new tool when it's Tomato season, too!

Applesauce
3 lbs apples
1/3 c sugar (to taste)
1 tsp cinnamon (or more, to taste)
1 tsp lemon juice


5-10 min
Wash and chop apples (I cut them in half and then cut the halves into thirds.) No need to core or remove seeds!

20-30 min
Cover with water in a large pot.
Boil apples for 20-30 min until soft.

5 min
Strain the apples.
Feed into the grinder.

5-20 min
Return the applesauce to the pot. Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon and cook until some liquid has boiled off and it is as thick as you want it.
