I am making this applesauce for Chanukah.

10 apples (Granny Smith and any others you have lying around), cut into chunks
2 pears, cut into chunks
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ cup water

Place all ingredients in a large stockpot over a low to medium flame.  Simmer for about 2 hours until apples are soft, stirring every 15 minutes.  Remove from flame and mash with a potato masher.  Store in refrigerator.
