One of the things my kids miss from the States is applesauce. I am sure that probably sounds silly but it is funny what you will miss when you can't find it easily. There is a place here that sells MOTTS applesauce. I have posted before about the Hummingbird Bakery in Notting Hill. A small jar of applesauce runs you about 4 pounds (that is $8 a jar). Not that affordable on an American salary, not to mention the cost to get there. So when I saw my large bowl of apples yesterday, I thought I would try making homemade applesauce for our New Years Day dinner. I have never made it before but I have to tell you...it was easy. Apples, sugar, water and cinnamon...that is all I needed. The finished product was much better than anything I could get from a jar...and my house smelled wonderful! On the first day of 2007, I taught myself something new and my kids were thrilled to have one of their favorite treats! Sometimes it's all about getting joy from the small things. I snapped this pic just before the peeling and slicing began early this morning.

When I first started reading, I thought maybe I could mail a pkg. of applesauce to you - but now I see it isn't necessary! Learn how to make stewed apples too; they are wonderful and your kids will love them as mine did.
Happy New Year!
These look like Granny Smith or MacIntosh apples or some other nice juicy kind. I don't know if the Delicious make good applesauce but they don't make good pies... You should have seen what I did to a carrot cake from scratch.... OH MY!
