Nothing easier
This tasted GREAT and it was soooo quick! I like to make everything from scratch, and for the apple muffins I was making I needed to make apple sauce and brown sugar from scratch. I was able to do both in less than 15 minutes. Perfect.
Pros: Quick, easy, delicious

Would not puree all the apples... leave some chunky. Also, the 0 g fiber caught my attention, guess that is per serving but each apple should have a couple grams.

I like to mash my cooked apples with a fork. It preserves little pieces of apple chunks. I cook mine before breakfast, then let it cool slightly so we can have warm, spicy apples with our meal.
