Applesauce in the Vitamix

Marginal apples - an opportunity!
The boys brought home some apples the other day.  They didn't look that good for just eating so I turned them into applesauce using the Vitamix.  I've made applesauce for years but scrupulously peeled the apples - what was I thinking?  The Vitamix quickly turns quartered unpeeled apples into a smooth sauce.

Quartered unpeeled apples with a bit of sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and splash of water
For this version, I just quarter the apples, remove any bad spots and throw them in the container.  This batch was 8 cups/2 liters worth of quartered apples with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice.  I added just a splash of water to get the Vitamix turning, then turned to high and blended for a minute until totally smooth.

After blending in the Vitamix - ready to serve
At this point, it could be served as "raw" applesauce but I prefer to cook the sauce down for a bit on the back of the stove and serve it warm as a desert.  It also makes the house smell really nice.
