Chunky Applesauce

A word to the wise: never try cooking apples with a phaser blaster (or an off-the-shelf plasma gun). Trust me, not a pretty site. Albert did "time out" after that fiasco. Lesson learned. The original recipe can be found here. We doubled all the ingredients because this is always a crowd favorite and the leftovers keep well in the refrigerator (up to a week or so) or the freezer.
