My favorite way to make applesauce is in the microwave, as this
 retains all of the flavor and goodness of the fruit.
 Simply cut the fruit in half (or in quarters), place it in a 2 or
 3 quart microwaveable corningware casserole, cover it, and microwave
 on high for 12 to 15 minutes.  You might want to check for doneness
 periodically.  When the apples are soft, let cool a bit, and then
 force through a ricer into a bowl.  Sweeten to taste, depending on
 the apple variety, and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg,
 ginger, and/or allspice.  This freezes well in jam jars or plastic
 containers.
