There were some apples leftover from my trip to Philadelphia that I just couldn't eat because I'm
allergic to apples. My mom bought them for like everyone else but me. I know, my friends thought that was weird, too, but if you could feed one person or feed six, it's better to feed six, right?
One of the apples was McIntosh and the other four were red delicious but one of them went completely bad on the inside so I threw it away. The apples were washed and then peeled and then sliced into six slices and then placed into a pot with an inch of water over high heat, lid on, until the water inside started boiling at which point the heat was then reduced to medium-high.
Once all of the slices were completely soft, which you test by sticking a fork into them and seeing if it goes through, I drained the juice into a bowl and then mashed the slices with a potato masher until it reached an applesauce-y consistency, in the process adding some cubes of sugar, which were probably not necessary at all.

The juice drained is apple juice and it's totally drinkable but I think I had too much water to enjoy it properly and this was made even worse by adding sugar cubes to it.

I seem to get a mild allergic reaction still from eating the sauce so I decided to put it in a plastic container and donate it to my mother instead. If I ever decide to make applesauce again, I'd probably not use red delicious apples since they are actually a terrible apple cultivar to cook with or even eat since they have a totally bitter exterior and a weird shape and they're hard to cook and taste like shit when you do cook them. It's really little wonder that the red delicious apples were the ones my tripmates neglected.
The soundtrack to this wonderfully red-delicious apple processing adventure was tUnE-yArDs's second LP
