Question:

Is it ok to keep the skin on your apples for applesause?

— Linda Danforth

Answer:

I do, I do keep it on for applesauce and you know, if you're going to make apple sauce and you want it very, very fine, then you cook the, you core the apples, you wanna get the seeds out of there, cook them with the skin on until it's very soft and then you can either blend the applesauce or your applesauce will have a little bit of skin in it. Depend or not depending on if you're doing it in a high speed blender or a food processor or mashing it. If you have a food mill and you put your apples through the food mill, your cooked apples, the food mill is going to separate the skins out.
