When my kids were little they loved applesauce. I started making it myself so I could control exactly what was in it. Of course you can peel the apples and blend it to make a fine smooth applesauce. But we love to leave the skins on and we enjoy "texture" in the sauce. Now some may call that lumps - we just call it yummy!
