After looking at a number of recipes in various cookbooks and and on the internet, I was thoroughly confused, but I remembered that my mother-in-law owned a device that worked with little difficulty. I ordered this mill because it seemed the most stable. After washing the apples, I cooked them in in large pots (several batches) I did not core or peel any of them but tossed the apples in the boiling water and set the timer for 15 to 20 minutes. Then I drained the excess water in a colander and spooned about two cups in the mill. Chose the sieve with the largest holes or the result will be a puree. After three to five minutes, I had a delicious sauce with very little effort and no skidding across the counter tops. A few seeds will be found in the mixture, but just spoon them out. After adding sugar and cinnamon to taste, I froze them in freezer containers. After each batch though, you just need to turn the mill upside down, run water through the hole and manually removed the leftover peel. It was the quickest and easiest way to make applesauce. I highly recommend this model. It may cost a little more than others but it was definitely worth it.
