Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the apples in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the brown sugar and chunks of butter evenly over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the apples are very tender.
- Mash the apples with a potato masher or fork. Taste; if the applesauce is too tart, add more brown sugar little by little until the flavors are balanced. (Note that no two batches will ever be the same; the flavor will depend on the tartness of the apples you use.)
- Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The applesauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

CHUNKY CINNAMON APPLESAUCE
This is a fun twist to homemade applesauce. Red hot candies give it some "bite" and those can be adjusted to one's personal taste. We love to serve this when we make City Chicken and Mashed potatoes. Great Fall/Winter food. I found this recipe in a '98 issue of Taste of Home and have been making it ever since.

Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe apples: This will ensure that your applesauce has a good texture and flavor.
- Peel and core the apples: This will remove the skin and seeds, which can add a bitter taste to the applesauce.
- Use a variety of apples: This will give your applesauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Add spices and sugar to taste: The amount of spices and sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. However, a good starting point is 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Cook the applesauce over low heat: This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Stir the applesauce frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
