Abstract
An apparatus and method for producing applesauce utilizing unpeeled apples that have been cored or reamed on the stem and blossom ends. The apples are divided into portions and pumped into a heater which raises the temperature of the portions of the apple to approximately 71.degree.-73.degree. C. A finisher then separates the waste parts from the flesh of the apple portions. The apple flesh is pulped and pumped to a second heater which raises the temperature to approximately 90.degree.-104.degree. C. The applesauce product then travels through a dwell line to an expansion chamber for collection.
