Charlene's Apple Pie Apple Sauce

Wash 8 apples, then peel them, remove the cores, and chop them up roughly. Toss the chopped apples in a bowl with 1/4 cup of white sugar, (if you like your apple sauce more tart and less sweet add less sugar, you can always taste it and add more if needed) 1/2 tsp fresh ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the apple mixture to a pot and add 1 1/2 cups water bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 mins or until the apples are very soft. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5-10 mins then mash with a potato masher, this will make it a little chunky and very authentic, if you like a more smoother texture feel free to use a food processor instead. Then let cool in the refrigerator until your ready to serve. You may also eat it hot if you like, in my family we we enjoy it both ways, we love this recipe with pork tenderloins or chops! This apple sauce really tastes like an apple pie filling, I hope your family or company enjoys it as much as my family does, I would suggest doubling this batch, it's not your grocery store apple sauce!
