Why do certain apple varieties make a better applesauce? What happens to texture when sugar is added to the water early in the cooking process?


Some apple varieties have more space in between the cells. So they have a more open structure and are easier to tenderize on cooking, and therefore become easier to mash to make sauce. If sugar is added early, water leaves the cell on cooking and the sugar solution enters the cell. This makes it firm and hard to mash.
