I use the ones that I have growing in my back yard. You may need to add sugar, to taste, depending on variety.<\/p>\n<p>Good varieties to try are: Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp (sweeter apples) with tart: Granny smith, braeburn, cortland. These are just a few varieties\u2013there are so many out there!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1756224310292\" class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do you need to peel the apples?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No! If you like chunky applesauce, you can leave the peel on and mash after cooking. For a smooth sauce, blend with an immersion blender.<br \/>\n**I use a food mill to remove leftover peels because I don\u2019t like the bits of peels on it. If you are like me, either use an food mill OR peel the apples prior to cooking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1756224388370\" class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to add sugar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No you do not.
