Cardamom and mace add a bit of unusual spicy flavor to this homemade applesauce. This dish is a wonderful way to make use of autumn's apple bounty. -Janet Thomas, McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania

Yummy! I used 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon instead of the stick & allspice instead of mace.

This is by far the best applesauce I've ever had. I make extra every fall and freeze it so I can easily enjoy it all year long.
