A friend gave me a mix of Courtlandt and Macs for applesauce. Anyone have a good recipe?

This one, courtesy of Martha Stewart is, ashamedly, my all-time fav.
The Best Damn Applesauce . . . Ever!
from that damned Martha Stewart. Makes about 7 cups.
18 MCINTOSH APPLES (about 6 lbs), peeled, cored, and quartered
1 cup APPLE CIDER
1 large CINNAMON STICK
½ VANILLA BEAN
1 tsp GROUND GINGER
½ tsp GROUND CARDAMOM
½ tsp GROUND NUTMEG
½ tsp GROUND MACE
½ cup SUGAR, or to taste
2 Tbsp FRESHLY SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE
Combine apples, apple cider, cinnamon, vanilla bean, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, mace, sugar, and lemon juice in a large, wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until apples are broken down and saucy, about 50 to 60 minutes. Mash any large pieces of apple with a large wooden spoon to help them break down. Adjust seasoning to taste with more sugar and spices. Remove the apple mixture from the heat, and let stand to cool completely before serving, discarding cinnamon sticks and vanilla pod.
Applesauce can also be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days in refrigerator.
(*Or process in a hot water bath and store in the closet for like, 7 years!)

Where's the Martha love? She got me through my first layoff.
Watching her show gave me someplace to be each day. AND she inspired me to organize my recipes and photos.

Actually, I don't use a recipe -- I just core and cut the apples,
add a little water, cook them until soft. I'll add a little sugar if needed and maybe a little cinnamon. The Cortlands cook right down, leaving some soft lumps in the sauce which I like. The skins make the sauce a little pink and they are thick and chewy. If you want a smooth sauce just take them out with a food mill. I like the skins in there as I think they add tartness and flavor. I like to freeze this in quart bags and have it over the winter.

Now if I could just find some courtlands. WF didn't have any, CM didn't -- usually they are early!
