    I made this with my kids, and they loved helping to peel and chop the apples. The applesauce was a huge hit!

  • Thomas Oreillygerhold

    I didn't have apple cider, so I used apple juice instead, and it worked perfectly fine.

  • Russell Gleason

    I added a splash of vanilla extract at the end, and it was amazing! Thanks for the great recipe.
