8 apples (McIntosh or Empire are recommended), 3 lb. (1.5 kg)
Cut apples into quarters. With paring knife, cut out cores. Peel each quarter.
In large saucepan, bring apples and water to boil over medium heat; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are mushy and puffy, about 25 minutes. Let cool.
With potato masher, mash apples until smooth; stir in honey. (Make ahead: refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days)
Variation: Rosy Honey Applesauce:
For rosy applesauce, core but do not peel apples. Instead of mashing, press apple mixture through food mill or conical sieve to remove skins.
