If you are a fruit lover, let me give you an idea for a great treat. I make my own chunky apple sauce, uwing just 7 ingredients: apples (any kind will do -- I use MacIntosh), a sweetener (as a diabetic, I use NutraSweet but sugar will work), cinnamon, lemon juice, butter or a butter alternative, water and a little salt, I simply peep and core 10 to 14 medium sized apples, then cut them into small chunks.

I add lemon juice (1 and 1/2 teaspoons per 3 to 4 apples, cinnamon liberally to taste, several shapes of salt, cup or so of water, and 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter alternative (I use Smart Balance4). Mix thoroughly in a ccoking pot and cook over medium neat. Stir the mixture frequently. Once the water begins to boil, turn down the heart to a high simmer. As the apples begin to soften, keep turning the mixture frequently until most of the apple bits have turned to a soft mush and the remaining chunks have begun to soften.

Then take the pot off the burner and mush the cooked mixture with a potato masher. It is then ready to eat. You can determine the ratio of ingredients to your taste.

To make the apple sauce superbly delicious, I add small chunks of pineapple from my garden. If you will try it, You will like it.
