Katie and Alex's Blissfully Crack-like Applesauce

I'm totally in the mood for fall cooking lately. Here's what I made today. Adapted from a food network recipe.


3 lbs. apples of various types, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 c. water
1/2 - 3/4 c. sugar, to taste
2 T honey
1 T spiced rum
1 T butter
2 t cinnamon
2 t maple syrup

Add all ingredients to pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for about an hour, break up with a fork or potato masher.
