The acid helps it maintain it's nice color. Or yes, you could add it into the water when it's cooking. Yes, it’s fine – just know that without ascorbic acid your sauce may turn brown.

So it is important to put your jars on something that is an insulator, like a towel. Something wooden is another option. I always use a towel as others mentioned.

If you use a victorio strainer,(which I love and have done up to 200 quarts a year) you just need to check the apple for bad spots and remove the stem ends. I quarter my apples (skins and seeds included)put them in a pressure cooker with a small amount of water. Bring them up to 5 pounds pressure and turn them off. They are now perfectly soft and ready to run through the victorio strainer. One time while I was gone, my kids hooked up the electric drill to the handle of the victorio strainer and had applesauce in no time flat minus the claw hands and sore shoulder! So now we do it this way all the time! I have 10 kids and we operate an organic dairy farm. Believe me, you have to think outside the box sometimes! Drops are by far the cheapest.

Don't need to peel or core, just slice them up & cook with a little water until soft, then run them through the grinder. We use it to make tomato sauce/juice, too.

I just use apples and a half a cup of water to a 12 quart stock pot of chopped apples(about 3/4 full so I can still stir). I have a food strainer made by Back to Basics so I don't have to peel or core makes it so much easier. There are about 3 to 4 apples in a pound, of course it depends on size.
