I am not confident in telling you how to can homemade applesauce. I can help you with a link to help you with this. The National Institute for Home Food Preservation can help you through the process of canning.

Let the sweet aromas fill your kitchen and your heart, knowing that you are nourishing yourself and your loved ones with a simple, wholesome delight. Embrace the comfort that comes from savoring a bowl of warm, homemade applesauce, and allow it to inspire gratitude and joy in your heart.
