Chunky Raspberry Applesauce

4 apples, peeled, cored, quartered
3/4 cup raspberry or raspberry blend juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons Smucker's Raspberry Preserves

In a medium saucepan, combine apples, raspberry juice, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Melt preserves in a small saucepan or microwave in a small bowl. Strain to remove seeds; set aside. With electric mixer, beat apple mixture lightly to form a chunky sauce. Stir in preserves. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate until serving time.

Makes 3-1/2 cups.
