I am convinced the secret to delicious homemade applesauce (or any apple dish) is to use a wide variety of apples: Ginger Gold, Stayman, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, MacIntosh, Jonagold, Granny Smith. The variety of sweet and tart apples balance each other out and little to no sugar is needed for my homemade applesauce.

Thank you! -E If you have a chest freezer or other non-defrosting freezer, homemade bread can stay fresh for several months in its frozen state. The repeated defrosting cycles tend to cause freezer burn on foods pretty quickly, so I try not to keep things in my kitchen freezer for long at all. Thank you!! Hi Kristen!
