Pick the apples
Slice the apples (we had a special machine that strained the peel and seeds, so we didn't need to core them)
Boil the apples
Sterilize the canning jars by boiling them
Here is our special machine. It was so easy, we just put the hot apples in, cranked and out came the fresh applesauce!
Put the applesauce in jars and screw the caps on
This is called a "water bath." You just have to make sure that all the tops are covered and let boil for about half an hour.
And voila! Lots of home-made applesauce for my little man. I think I brought home 19 jars!

Yum! What a good mommy you are.
When I first gave my babies food I was so picky with what I gave them because nothing seemed as healthy as breast milk. This applesauce will be great!
(Now I feed my children McD's happy meals...sadly)
Man, you do a lot of homemade things! I bet that applesauce tastes awesome.
yum! i love applesauce! =)
My parents have apple trees and my mom makes homemade applesauce all the time. She doesn't have a nice straining machine like that though! I can never eat store-bought applesauce again after having homemade. Yum!!
