Steps:
- Peel, core, and coarsely chop the apples.
- Run apples through a blender until you have the desired consistency. I like mine slightly chunky. (Alternatively, you could finely chop the apples and not use the blender at all.).
- Pour into a heavy ceramic bowl that easily fits inside your rice cooker.
- Add sugar and lemon juice; stir together thoroughly.
- Place a cinnamon stick into the bowl of raw applesauce. Make sure that it is completely covered.
- Fill the metal bowl of your rice steamer so that the water is two inches high.
- Put the ceramic bowl filled with raw applesauce into the rice cooker. Cover and push the "cook" button.
- Walk away! Your rice steamer will do all the cooking, and no need to stir. The length of time it takes to cook probably varies according to your rice steamer, but I have the loveliest applesauce in about 10-15 minutes. Check back periodically and taste until it is done to your liking. Turn off the machine when it's done. You can leave the ceramic bowl in the rice cooker to cool, or remove it immediately with some tongs.

RICE COOKER RECIPE: RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE
Put your 14 to 16 cup rice cooker to use and make this sweet and delicious applesauce, made in your rice cooker! Use Empire State or Gala apples. The result is a chunky, delicious applesauce that is an appealing (or apple-peel-ing) and pleasurable alternative to cranberry sauce for the holiday table. Also a delicious topping for vanilla ice cream.

GRANDMA'S APPLES AND RICE
LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks. Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe. -Joan Kasura, Silver Spring, Maryland
