My Grandma was famous for her recipes using fruit, whether it be a sauce, salad, or pie. She and Grandpa grew their own fruits including rhubarb which grew like a forest in the warm Michigan summers. Her apple sauce is the best around...and chunky, not slimy! Eating a bite of this will take you back to the glories of the 1940's.

Boil water in a large pot over high heat. Add cut-up apples, lowering heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until apples are soft.

Add vanilla pudding mix and vanilla. Continue to stir while cooking until pudding is disolved. Serve warm or let cool in refrigerator.
Step 4

Note: if you don't want it chunky, pulse in the blender until smooth.
