Applesauce on the stove is one of the first things I learned to cook.
It is very simple and pretty fast--less than 30 minutes. It teaches
you the advantage of tasting several times as you go along to get the
sugar and cinammon just right (and lemon, if you use it). And it lets
you mash to the consistency that you like. When you are finished you
can immediately enjoy the effects of the decisions you made. Why
trade that for some mindless, hours-long process? -aem
