MARTHA'S PINK APPLESAUCE
We like to use a combination of McIntosh apples and deep-red varieties, such as Empire or Cortland. The former bring classic flavor and the latter a beautiful color.

Steps:
- Wash the apples well. Do Not Peel! Chop them into 1 inch pieces, discarding the core.
- Put the apples, cider, cinnamon and cloves into a heavy soup pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
- Remove the spices, and then puree the apples in a food processor. I did this in batches so as not to overload the processor. You can puree the apples to a super smooth consistency, or keep some texture. I chose to retain a little bit of texture in mine.
- Refrigerate the sauce until needed. It will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
PINK APPLESAUCE
My grandfather like spicy cinnamon applesauce. My mom came up with the idea of adding red hots to the applesauce that we canned for him every fall. They make the applesauce a pretty pink and give it a spicy cinnamon flavor.

This homemade applesauce has a delicious, clear apple taste accented with a little nutmeg, a nip of lemon, and bit of cranberry juice . Use some of the apple peelings to make the applesauce nice and thick (and remember to dig them out before serving).

PINK APPLESAUCE BREAD
This is another recipe I found of my Grammie's tucked into the pages of another cookbook. It sounds wonderful and would be great for the Easter holiday or springtime brunch. This is a very light, moist bread and reminded me of biscuit dough. Since it has no eggs and is mostly applesauce it could be a vegan also a healthier bread...
