@PA Mom-mom That is exactly the one I have. I am also from Pa. and my mother was Pa. Dutch.

@PA Mom-mom I have that same strainer. I love it. I've probably had it about 40 years or so too.
When I make applesauce I just quarter them and cook them a little water then put it through the strainer to get the seeds and peels separated. A great little gadget.
The strainer is great for raspberry jam too. I don't like seeds in my jam and it removes them so easily.

@azgal I have used it for grape jam, and my son uses it for tomatoes. A really great gadget.

I hadn't thought to cook apples with cinnamon sticks instead of ground cinnamon. Good idea.

Sometimes I make chunky applesauce. I peel and quarter apples. When soft, I use a potato masher leaving some chunks.
I also core and cook apples with the skins on and then put in my Vitamix until smooth.
I used to use the tools shown to make applesauce, but no more. I have to get some use out of my Vitamix. Mostly it's a dust collector.

Peels on! Thanks for the inspiration....I am going to make applesauce today! Yum!
Turned out great...used combination of Macs and Cortlands.
I don't think I have ever heard of Ruby Jon but will try them if I run across them!

When I used to make it, I left peels on and used a food mill. Haven't made in many years, though.
