My kids and I do this every fall with the many different varieties of apples we get from the orchard. We also boil the apples in half water half apple juice but I've never used cinnamon sticks. Since we are getting ready to make some more soon I'll have to try it that way this time. You're pictures sure make me crave some home made applesauce. YUM!
